Spreading the Facts about Falun Gong at the California State Fair (Photos)

By a Falun Gong practitioner in Northern California

(Clearwisdom.net) The three-week-long 155^th California State Fair wrapped up on Labor Day, September 1, 2008. Falun Gong practitioners brought the benefits of Falun Dafa to the fair each weekend and on the last day of the fair, and many more people have now learned about Falun Dafa and the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) brutal persecution of Falun Gong practitioners.

The annual fair is a large-scale activity that attracts more than a million visitors. As usual, the fair had a free speech area at the main entrance, which is open to the public for free. Local Falun Gong practitioners come every year to tell people about Falun Gong.

One tourist gave Falun Gong a thumbs-up and said, "Great! Falun Gong! Good luck to you!"

A Hispanic man couldn't wait to learn Falun Gong as soon as he saw the booth.

A Vietnamese American kept thanking Falun Gong practitioners after getting a flier in Vietnamese.

Upon seeing pictures exposing the organ-harvesting crimes against Falun Gong practitioners, a young man walked over to the booth and told Falun Gong practitioners he worked in law and human rights, and that he wanted to help stop the persecution.

Two older Falun Gong practitioners, Mrs. Zou and Mrs. Liu, are both in their seventies. They distributed fliers and demonstrated exercises in high spirits all day long during the hot summer days. They pay all their expenses out of their own pockets to come to the fair every year but have never toured the fair to have any fun. When others said they should check out the fair, they said in one voice, "How can I have the heart? I should distribute more fliers!"
