Even with Hmong star power like Koos Loos from Laos there seems to be not very many people.

Well when each clan feels like they NEED to host one, people get exhausted.

Just like the Summer festivals, the more events there are, the smaller the crowds.

It used to mean something when there was only 1 or 2 and if you missed it, you missed it.

Never heard of "Koos Loos" so his/her "star power" must not be that big.. ???

It's a big, big world out there.

maybe it is a mask party for hmong veteran's day parade party. 

Like unannounced flea market, just take it for what it is.  A free show for all and a much needed event for the community to enjoy. 

I can't use the word "support" when it comes to these events but if there is hmong food and I'm hungry, I'm game.

Same foods, same places and often times the same group of people attending.

If you have too many preparties, few will make it to the real party.

The real villain is looking at you.  The last hero was just not true.  If everything works out in the end.  It's because all things make amends.

Hmong New Years are business oriented for a long time now and not cultures focused. Missed the 80s when New Years were celebrated genuinely.

Yeah it seems to run like a flea market mix with circus carnival where dollies and soda drinks are forbidden 😂

There's no need for you to hide. I already saw you.
