Hello, it's me again, Fellow Africans and Friends of Africa.

Yes, it is true that AFRICA FEST is happening again in grand
style.  It's at the Monona Terrace Community & Convention Center.
John Nolen Dr., Madison, Wisconsin, on Saturday, August 28, 1999.

The Count Down to the second Show Time begins.  It's THREE days to go.
Yes, THREE days to Show Time.  You will see it, hear it, smell it, feel it
or
experience it happen again.  It will be big, good and FREE.  You cannot
afford to miss it.  No excuses.  It's purely for you, you and you.  There is
so much in it for you.

Doors to the Terrace are open at 8:00 AM.   The Show Time is 10:00 AM  till
6:00 PM concluding with a carnival/masquerade led by the Sierra Leonean
Gorboi around the Capitol Square.  Truly, it will be BIG and FREE.

Fellow Africans and Friends of Africa, here is an opportunity to be part of
the team that is making AFRICA FEST '99  happen.  We need you as a
volunteer to assist participating performers, artists, vendors, exhibitors
and the audience during the event.  Please call either Dr. Ralph Osakwe
