Granville Island was visited by the
traditional Chinese lion dancers and drummers today who perform to welcome Spring, ward off evil spirits, and bring good luck for the coming year. Merchants hang a head of lettuce with a red money envelope hidden inside, and the lion tears it down, neatly extracts the cash and merrily flings lettuce leaves all over the entrance to the store. It's very exciting! We were hanging our lettuce and a woman came by and told us to hang it higher, and hide the envelope to make it more challenging! So we did.
He was a very agile lion and got the lettuce down quite quickly,
and very considerately managed to not actually throw it on the customer who was in the store.
So, that was awesome all round.
Happy
Year of the Rabbit!
ps. Don Hutchenson just brought some lovely rabbit-themed wares into the shop!
