Chadron State College announced on April 3 that the International Food Tasting Party will take place on April 18, featuring a variety of performances and cuisine from around the world.
The event aims to bring together students and community members to celebrate diversity through food, music, and performance. Organizers say it offers an opportunity for attendees to experience global traditions and appreciate the diversity present on campus.
