Hot Springs community members are celebrating the Chinese New Year this Saturday with a parade featuring a hand made 25 foot dragon dancing down Main Street.

The parade begins at 4:30 p.m. and will start on the corner of Wall and Main Streets in downtown Hot Springs. After the parade, there will be an Asian potluck dinner and a family latern event in Circle Square Park.

Several community members have volunteered their time and money to help make the event a success and are asking for donations since everything offered is free to the public. Contact the Hot Springs Senior Center with questions at 406-741-2344.
