T was truly a Night of Worldly

Delights. Organizers of the first-

ever multi-cultural food, drink and
music extravaganza at Lonsdale Quay
on Wednesday night say it was wildly
successful and hope to make it an annu-
al event.

“We were overwhelmed by the sheer numbers,” said Elaine
Mylett. marketing director at Fonsdale Quay, on the morning
after the fere.

Although the accounting hasn't vet been done, early estimates
put the number of people at the event, which was sponsored by
the News, at approximately 1.300. Proceeds go to the North
Shore Multicultural Society.

Mylett gives credit to the merchants at the Quay, who donat-
ed food, displays, and time to the event.

“They just really stepped up to the mark,” she said. “ Koji Japan
just didn’t stop cooking, the sushi guy just kept on rolling. all the
food merchants were wonderful.” A fashion show, including the
latest fall styles as well as exotic ethnie costumes, was also 4 big hit.
