United States: Residents of a Beautiful Missouri City Happily Learn About Dafa

On October 18 2003, Falun Gong practitioners in St. Louis, Missouri drove two hours to a small city in Louisiana for the annual "Colorfest" Festival Parade.

The weather was especially fine and pleasant with warm autumn sunshine and blue sky. People living in this beautiful tourist city were very happy to learn about Dafa.

Accompanied by the benevolent and beautiful Dafa music "Pu Du," the floral float on which practitioners demonstrated the exercises and practitioners' fan dancing passed through the crowded market. Locals and tourists gave warm applause. Many people stated, "What beautiful music. I like it!" "The movements are so beautiful!" "Wonderful, Falun Gong!" Some people imitated practitioners doing the exercises on the spot. Others asked for more information about Dafa.

After the parade, the sponsor announced the list of award winners. Falun Gong practitioners won two second prizes for "The Most Beautiful Float" and "Best Procession." We were also invited to perform the five sets of the exercises on the stage, and introduce to the audience about the widespread of Falun Dafa and the persecution in China.
