  5. Passport to Peace<\/strong>. Attendees can get a free Passport which they take to any\/all gardens and participate in a free, fun activity in that garden to get their Passport stamped.\u00a0 For kids and adults of all ages.\u00a0 Kids get a cool prize when they turn it<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. America 250 \u2013 To celebrate the 250th<\/sup> anniversary of the USA there will be special displays and information. \u00a0Each Garden will showcase three people of their heritage who have made significant contributions to America.\u00a0 Signs in each Garden will provide information and conversation starters.\u00a0 \u00a0For example, did you know that Andy Warhol was Carpatho-Rusyn?\u00a0 Or that Walt Disney had German, Irish and English heritage?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Variety of Ethnic food and drink<\/strong>.\u00a0 Gardens will have food from their culture or a food truck\/vendor will be stationed there. This includes some new ethnic food options as well as ice cream and more traditional foods.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
