Kids had a great time dancing and just hanging out with their friends. The dance started at around 7 pm. When kids came in, there was a survey at the front desk that asked the kids what they would like the next GSY event to be. There were snacks and drinks for the kids. The dance floor was packed! Everyone was having fun dancing with their friends. Towards the middle of the dance, we announced the raffle prizes. The prizes were an ipod, Jump Drives & three $25 gift certificates. GSY would truly like to thank Tushar Tripathi and Urmil Salvi for donating the prizes. The party ended at around 11 pm., and everyone had a great time!

Granite, Marble, Other stones wholesale More info: Ramesh Patel (248) Avi Shah (248) Radha Krishnan (248) Holi (Hindi: ह ल ) or Phagwah (Bhojpuri) is a popular, Hindu spring festival, observed in North India and Nepal, also called the Festival of Colours. In West Bengal, it is known as Dolyatra (Doljatra) or Boshonto Utsav ("spring festival"). On the first day, bonfires are lit at night to signify burning the demoness Holika, Hiranyakashipu's sister. On the second day, known as Dhulendi (Dhuleti), people spend the day throwing colored powder and water at each other. The spring season, during which the weather changes, is believed to cause viral fever and cold. Thus, the playful throwing of the coloured powders has a medicinal significance: the colors are traditionally made of Neem, Kumkum, Haldi, Bilva, and other medicinal herbs prescribed by Āyurvedic doctors. A special drink called thandai is prepared, sometimes containing bhang (Cannabis sativa). People invite each other to their houses for feasts and celebrations later in the evening. Rangapanchami occurs a few days later on a Panchami (fifth day of the full moon), marking the end of festivities involving colors. Holi takes place over two days in the later part of February or early March. As per the Hindu calendar, it falls on the Phalgun Purnima (or Pooranmashi, Full Moon), which will occur on March 22 in (In 2007, Holi was celebrated on 3 March, the burning of Holika was on 4 March and the Dhulendi on 5 March.) -wiki How long a minute is... depends on what side of the bathroom door you're on.
