Parking Lot: Spring Festival and Colourful I

parking lot: So today I came and celebrated to get me all colourful, according to Metro News. I think this is the biggest and the best one yet. Beneath the clouds of neon dust in a parking lot in Mississauga, there was the city's mayor, Bonnie Crombie, covered in green and orange powder after dancing with crowds of kids as part of Rung De' ONE RDO . I think this is my fourth Rung De' ONE and the first couple, I said no, no I can't get coloured because I have to go somewhere else after, I can't celebrate with you,' she said, her hair blotched yellow and pink. We're going to dance and we're going to drum. In its fourth year, RDO is inspired by Holi, a spring festival that takes place in India and Nepal. We're nice and colourful. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
