Pittman said she was excited about the lion dance, which was the opening act of the event, and the dragon dance that finished the event. A professional group from Master Lu's Health Center from Salt Lake City was invited to perform the lion dance. "The dragon dance is actually meant to bring a lot of precipitation to the land," Pittman said. "Water also means money and wealth, and to bring everybody good fortune. And with the lion dance to open the show, it means it will bring blessings to everybody." Pittman also mentioned how the event happened to land on the fifth day of the actual New Year's celebration. "The fifth day is the day that we welcome the money god back," Pittman said. "Every business reopens because everybody closes the day before the Chinese New Year. Everybody is off work for five days, but they go back to open the business and to receive good wishes. So this event is actually very special. Everyone that participates in this event will be rich this year." Pittman said there was a lot of help for the event with sponsors and volunteers, but he hopes to get more support in the future. A donation box was set out during the night for the use of future events. "Next year, hopefully we can have enough support for catering, so I don't have to cook every year," Pittman said. The event was sponsored by WSU Continuing Education, Community Services and the Golden Dynasty Restaurant. It was co-sponsored by Syracuse Junior High School, Eastern Wmds Restaurant, the WSU Center for Diversity and Unity, and the WSU Multicultural Center. Comment on this story at wsusignpost.com.

"Groundhog Day has come to represent going through a phenomenon over and over until one spiritually transcends it," said Suzane Daughton, author of Critical Studies in Mass Communication. er said he agrees with Daughton. "We should celebrate the movie on Groundhog Day rather than the actual groundhog seeing or not seeing his shadow," Daughton said.
