Let's Take a Trip to Cuba
LEXINGTON, Ky. (Sept. 19, 2016) — Come out to Student Activities Board (SAB) and the Latino Student Union’s Cuban Heritage Festival tomorrow from 6 until 8 p.m., at Woodland Glen Courtyard. Take a dive into the Cuban culture and experience different types of Cuban traditions, a lesson on Cuban history and authentic Cuban desserts.
For more than 50 years, commercial flights have not been able to travel from Cuba and the U.S. The only way people were able to go to Cuba was through very expensive, private planes. Since Aug. 31, flights have been able to go to the once forbidden island. For those who are not quite ready to travel to Cuba, take a mini trip with SAB and the Latino Student Union. Come out and dine with authentic food music and educational booths. There will even been a table for arts and crafts and dominoes.
“It is always important to recognize different heritages and cultures, so it brings me joy to show this through this event," said Rockia Harris, SAB director of Multicultural Affairs. "You can’t go wrong with the appreciation of Hispanic Heritage Month!”
In the case of inclement weather this event will be moved to Buell Armory. Announcements would be made through SAB social media accounts.
