NAFCA was pleased to participate in the Davis 93nd Annual Picnic Day Parade on April 14, 2007. Picnic Day is the largest student-run event in the United States and is the annual Open House for the University of California, Davis. This hallmark event has been designed to showcase and celebrate the richness of campus life, the diverse achievements of UCD students, staff and faculty to provide a day of education, information and entertainment to all who attend. There will be more than 150 events throughout the campus and we expect 50,000-60,000 visitors to enjoy this special day. About Picnic Day Event.

The parade was a grand success! This year we were able to add a float to our parade, which was decorated with Nepali blankets, flags, flowers and many people wearing a variety of traditional clothes to show the rich diversity of Nepal. NAFCA would like to extend a huge THANK YOU to all of the people who braved the rain and cold to participate in the parade. Despite the bad weather there were over 30 people representing NAFCA. They did not let the wet weather dappen their spirits, dancing, and smiling through the whole parade, even though they were soaked through. We received an outpouring of support with people clapping, and cheering all along the parade route.
