CALENDAR Chinese New Year was two weeks ago, but that doesn’t mean the fun is over yet. Ring in the Year of the Horse when the Oregon Asian Celebration unveils its 29th year on Saturday, Feb. 15, at the Lane Events Center. The festival features endless chances to celebrate Asian culture, including a haiku gallery full of framed poems to enjoy and live martial arts performances. Art lovers can revel in the multitude of craft demos, with basketry, beading, origami and printmak- ing demonstrated throughout the weekend. Add a deliciously ample food court, live musical performances and an historical exhibit on Asian heritage, and the Year of the Horse is off to a good start. The 29th Annual Oregon Asian Celebration is 10am-7pm Saturday, Feb. 15, & 10am-6pm Sunday, Feb. 16, at Lane Events Center, 796 W. 13th Ave. $6, $10 two-day pass, ages 12 & under FREE. — Amy Schneider MELISSA NOLLEDO PHOTOGRAPHY White Lotus Gallery, 767 Willa- mette St. FREE.
