Türkçe Raindrop Türkevi

Turkic Fest 2009 was a great success

“I wouldn’t get to see, watch and taste this much all in one day, even if I visited Turkey. The festival was so educational, entertaining and delicious, for me, my husband, and my kids…” An attendee of Turkic Fest 2009 Raindrop Foundation and Houston Istanbul Sister City Association presented an authentic Turkic weekend which pleased the whole family’s eyes, ears and palates. This year, the festival drew over 25,000 participants of all ages. Among the festival’s distinguished guests were Harris County Judge Ed Emmett, Houston mayoral race contender Gene Locke, Houston’s First Lady Andrea White and Consul General of Turkey, Akil Öktem.
