Have you noticed the red lanterns in front of the Paramount Theater today? The Chinese American Foundation of Colorado and Denver Chinese School held their 12th Colorado Chinese New Year Celebration at this Denver landmark. The theater was packed with thousands of people for this sold-out event. In support of the Colorado Chinese/Asian community, Congressman Mike Coffman, Secretary of State Scott Gessler, Colorado Republican Party Chairman Ryan Call as well as the Deputy Consul General from Consulate General of China in Chicago attended the event. Denver Mayor Hancock also sent representative attending the event, while governor Hickenlooper sent congratulatory letter. This is the keynote event immersing the City into Chinese culture as well as Chinese holiday sentiment. Beside the volunteer performers from the local Chinese community, there were also wonderful performances from the "Happy Chinese New Year" troupe of Chinese Ministry of Culture.
