FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
22 August 2011
MEDIA RELEASE : "India in the Park" event and evening show both huge successes
Nearly 1000 Reginans passed through "India in the Park" on Saturday, August 20 to celebrate India's Independence Day with the ICA.
The day of activities on Wascana Lake in front of the Conexus Arts Centre included food, dance performances, Henna artists, magic tricks, kite flying, jewelery & clothing stalls, and much more.
That evening, an audience of almost 500 enjoyed an exhilarating double feature performance inside the Conexus Arts Centre: First, Vancouver's Delhi 2 Dublin forced youngsters and the young at heart to abandon their seats and dance in front of the mainstage; then, the breathtaking Kuchipudi Dancers from India brought classical Indian culture to the evening.
Spectacular fireworks over Wascana Lake closed out the day at dusk.
ICA thanks the performers, volunteers, and especially all the enthusiastic attendees for making the 2011 India Independence Day celebration such a memorable success.

I am disappointed, to say the least, with the lack of reporting on India in the Park this past Saturday.
The Regina Symphony Orchestra's Symphony Under the Sky on Sunday garnered not one, but two articles in Monday's Leader-Post; all India In The Park got was a measly photo with a quick blurb.
You should be ashamed to leave out such an event, considering the Indian community in Regina is growing
Around 10,000 visitors got their festival passport stamped at our popular INDIA PAVILION where they were treated to scrumptious food and spectacular entertainment. Feedback about our new sprawling venue was overwhelmingly positive.
ICA wishes to extend sincere thanks all the visitors to our pavilion. See you next year!
ICA is proud to inform that Mr.Krishan Kapila has been awarded the prestigious Saskatchewan Volunteer Medal a few days back. Mr.Krishan Kapila is a well respected Indian Canadian in Saskatchewan. Mr.Kapila has been a past president of the ICA and first president of Hindu Samaj(society) of Southern Saskatchewan.
In 1995, the Government of Saskatchewan established a decoration to recognize the volunteer sector on the occasion of the province's 90th anniversary: the Saskatchewan Volunteer Medal.
