Hmong New Year celebration back at Fresno Fairgrounds following year break

Under dark skies, hundreds braved chilly temperatures to usher in the opening of the Hmong New Year celebrations at the Fresno Fairgrounds on Thursday morning. People from all over the country — from Kansas, Minnesota, Washington state, and Southern California — donned the colorful, traditional garb of the Hmong culture for the celebration, back after a year’s hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Though the crowd and vendor sizes were down from two years ago by all accounts, spirits were high as the crowds took in the opening day parade, ceremonial toast and ribbon-cutting, attended by Hmong and local dignitaries, including Fresno Mayor Jerry Dyer, Fresno Police Chief Paco Balderrama, members of the city council and county supervisors.

Not gonna lie.  This new trend of masking up is making them eyes popped. 

Lots of females be looking good with a mask on if they just have to do their eyes and brows. 

In the raving arena, they be masking up too but they lace the inside with icy hot.  Never noticed them ninja women before but the norm these days are making a new trend.   O0
