Kavan Rai, a resident of Vestal, Broome County, used to be hesitant about openly discussing her practice of the Sikh religion. She had a fear that her friends might ridicule her or exclude her because of it.
In the past decade or so, Indian immigrants in the Valley have constructed around twelve Sikh temples to meet the needs of a growing community.
The 67th annual Talbot Street Art Fair, one of the oldest and largest outdoor Art Fairs in the USA, favored by the two days of pleasant Indiana weather drew an enthusiastic multi-generational and multicultural crowd of art patrons and many friends over the weekend (June 17th-June 18th).
