On Feb. 2, members of the Vietnamese community gathered at the Golden Dragon restaurant in Garden City for a fun-filled feast of culture, community, and camaraderie.

Lunar New Year, or Tet, is observed on the first full moon of the year, and may last for several days. Celebrated in many different parts of Asia, the festivities vary in flavor depending on the region.

Present at the celebration was Father Augustine Nguyen, who escaped North Vietnam at age 15, and who now serves the Diocese of Dodge City.

The evening included Vietnamese cuisine, music, and special presentations.
