Continued from: Wat Lao Buddhavong July 4th, 2008 Concert Part I Jonny Olsen and Anna-Anhly Vorarath
There are many singers that I realized that I wouldn’t be able to post all, and they did an outstanding performance. I think this is Sommainoy Doungchaleun (please correct me if I’m wrong)
The two beautiful and talented sisters.
Thai singers, the Snap band, playing string music, a break from morlam and country music.
Then it started to rain, the concert had to be shut down temporary for almost 20 minutes, but my second sister saw Sodsai Romphothong talking to a monk next to the stage, he is one of Thailand’s legend country music singers, I recalled hearing him sing at Boun Wat whilst living in Thailand when I was little, so we stuck around and it was well worth it. As you can see, there were many fans out there that also waited, soaking wet, and the rest of the concert more than made up for it, as you can see that the rain didn’t dampen the fans’ spirit at all.
Sodsai Romphothong made an announcement on stage that he didn’t charge for his performance, and this is strictly a Boun event because when he heard about our nice community, that many people have kind heart, and Wat Lao Buddhavong has a big event every year, he wants to Tum Boun (merit making) with the Wat (temple), I would say that he is the highlight of the show.
Pridsana Vongsili also came with him from Thailand, she is still as beautiful as ever, I’ve seen her 11 years ago at this very stage, and it was my first time attending Wat Lao Buddhavong Boun.
Ning Nong still has a nice voice, still very funny.

(this is ascandaloussin)… That looks like fun! There was also a Hmong event that went on over the weekend in St. Paul MN. Well this event is a sports event, which hundreds and hundreds of Hmong people from all over the world go to just shop at the event and watch some soccer and volleyball and ofcourse party a little. I believe this event had been going on for atleast 20 to 25 years or maybe even longer. I always go every other year, and this year was suppose to be the year for me to go, but, due to other reasons I was unable to attend.

Hi ascandaloussin, I had a good time, and my whole family were there (except for my 3rd sister and her family.) I think it’s nice to be able to attend something like this, we also have a huge Hmong celebration every year at the fairground in our area.
