On Saturday May 31, from 11am to 5pm, Kumoricon will have a table at the 2008 Spring Festival at Richmond Elementary School. This is hosted by the same organization as Mochitsuki in January.

We'll have cat-ear making at our table and you can explore the entire festival for a day of Japanese cultural activities.
