Mid-Autumn Festival celebration

The Hinsdale Public Library celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival outdoors this year. More than 150 people celebrated what is also referred to as the Moon Festival by making lanterns, tasting authentic dishes and more. And as if on cue, as the event was wrapping up the moon began to emerge behind the clouds to shine upon the crowd. Jennifer Chi helps Luke and Juliana work on decorating a lantern. Leah and Jaya Wong modeled some authentic Chinese fashions. Mom Alice Zhang holds Lan while watching the talent show. (Jim Slonoff photos)
