Taste of Armenia event to be held in Illinois August 24, 2012 - 12:07 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Parents and kids can sample an ancient culture at Taste of Armenia on Sunday, Aug 26 at St. James Armenian Church in Evanston, IL, Highland Park News reported. “It’s a leisurely afternoon for families of all ethnic backgrounds,” said event co-chairman Gary Rejebian of Evanston. “It’s a celebration of Armenian heritage and culture. There’s authentic Armenian food. There’s a big selection of games for kids. There’s a really interesting cultural program.” That may be why more than 2,500 people attend the event annually. This year’s event will feature excerpts from Silk Road Rising’s upcoming play “Night Over Erzinga”. “It’s a tale of losing and regaining ethnic identity,” Rejebian said.
