Additional Information

The College of Southern Idaho Refugee Center is coordinating an evening of ethnic food, information, and entertainment at the Twin Falls City Park band shell starting at 6 p.m. Friday, June 21.

The fourth annual Magic Valley Refugee Day will feature music, singing and dancing from the various ethnic populations that have relocated to southern Idaho with help from the Refugee Center. The groups will have displays, information about their home countries, and samples of their foods.

The annual event is a way to recognize and include the Twin Falls community for its support and help in relocating the refugees throughout the year. It’s also a way to celebrate the diversity of cultures living in Twin Falls.

Refugee Center spokesman Benjamin King says information will be available on how volunteers can get involved as well as how to donate to the Refugee Center. The event is free and open to everyone. Those who attend are encouraged to bring chairs or blankets for sitting on the lawn. For more information, contact the CSI Refugee Center at 736-2166 or e-mail bking@spro.net.
