Festival Press Event with Mayor Nutter a Success

Building up to the 2008 Subaru Cherry Blossom Festival of Greater Philadelphia, the Press Event that took place yesterday (3/26) was a great success. Representatives of Subaru, Fairmount Park, the City of Philadelphia, and the JASGP spoke about the festival in between taiko drumming performances, and Mayor Nutter made an appearance in traditional Japanese attire to read the proclamation from the city and to try his hand at taiko drumming. The press turnout was spectacular, with coverage from ABC, CNN, FOX, NBC, and CBS among many other networks in radio and print.
