Celebrate the Lunar New Year with our own Bo-Yee Poon
Our own ABC22 News This Morning and FOX44 Morning Brew co-anchor, Bo-Yee Poon, sported her festive Lunar New Year outfit on-air Wednesday morning. It was more than just a display of diversity and culture though. We were able to learn so much from Bo-Yee who says she has celebrated 'many, many, many Lunar New Years' before today. One of her favorite parts from past celebrations were the fireworks show over Hong Kong Harbor, but the memories and Lunar New Year lesson didn't stop there.
Bo-Yee's outfit was comprised of floral notes and free flowing sleeves. The vibrant gown is known as a Cheongsam. This Lunar New Year is also the year of the snake, so it was only fitting that Poon brought her stuffed snake to the desk to share in the fun of the holiday. It was a real joy to hear Bo-Yee proficiently speak the Chinese language while also teaching everyone at home a few words and phrases.
While Bo-Yee was discussing the Lunar New Year traditions, we dove into a story about the holiday celebrations happening in Hong Kong. They are marking the Lunar New Year with a flower market and lots of yummy snacks which Bo-Yee says is just the way her and her family celebrate each year.
This Sunday, Bo-Yee will be the Emcee of a Lunar New Year celebration event in South Burlington. The festivities will be held at the Frederick H. Tuttle Middle School from 12 PM to 3:30 PM. The celebration includes a New Year luncheon and performances by students, teachers,and friends. Tickets are on a first-come, first-served basis, with no reservation. Please purchase your e-tickets in advance via Seven Days Tickets or email vtchineseschool@
