We went to the Festival of Colours yesturday in Spanish Fork. A cloud of chalk in the air. Some people wore face masks to keep the chalk out of their mouths and noses. We tried to stay out of the cloud as much as possible. I can't believe how many people turned out. It was crazy/fun. Landon, Hayden, and Trenton went crowd surfing. They thought that was kind of fun.March 27th 2010

Fun Fact For Ya-Holi the festival of colours has been a very distinct event in India since the times of Bhagat PRAHALAD, the son of Harankashyap, who being a autocrat King, forced his countrymen to worship him instead of God. The defiance of Prahalad led to many tortures given to him by the King, one of which was to be burnt alive. 'Holika' the sister of Harnakashyap volunteered to take Prahalad into a flame of fire as she was in possession of some magical powers by which she was immune to fire. But Prahalad, with the Grace of God was spared and Holika was destroyed by the same fire, she was not susceptible to. Since that day, this festival came into existence i.e. The Triuph of Truth over Evil.
