ntroducing kids to culture can
be challenge — or it can be a
whole lot of fun.
At second annual Russian
Festival held recently at the Michigan
Russian Cultural Center in Clawson,

children of Russian heritage were
regaled with Russian music, art, ballet,
puppet theater and Moscow circus
clowns with trained dogs.
"Everyone had a good time — not
just kids," said cultural center program
director Olga Kourdioukova.
