The Mooncake Festival 10/3/12

Village View Senior Services sponsored it's annual mooncake festival on Wed. Oct. 3. This year the dumplings were especially delicious, and the community room was beautifully decorated with Chinese lanterns. There is a legend that secret messages were hidden in the cakes, and it resulted in the overthrow of the Mongols during the Ming Dynasty. At nearly 1,000 calories per cake the only thing you'll be overthrowing are your pants that fit too tight.
