By a Canadian Falun Gong practitioner

(Clearwisdom.net) The summer celebration of Welland, Ontario, a small city near the US border and Niagara Falls, has a 43 year history. The week-long celebration attracts countless tourists every year. Falun Gong practitioners were invited to participate in the parade this year and were widely welcomed by the local citizens.

Upon seeing practitioners' waist drum troupe, Fan Dance and float, many people exclaimed: "It is so beautiful!" "Great!" "Magnificent!" Some started to clap their hands following the rhythm of "Falun Dafa is Good."

Nearly 10,000 people watched the parade, with many inquiring where this beautiful group came from. All the fliers and newspapers practitioners prepared soon ran out. Many people said: "You are great, come back next year!"
