While most Allegheny County residents celebrated the new year over a month ago, members of the Pittsburgh Chinese School and their supporters are just now getting started. This Sunday over 200 students of all ages will kick off the Chinese Year of the Dragon at Community College of Allegheny County s Tom Foerster Student Service Center Auditorium at 1p.m. The celebration will feature live performances, Chinese readings, games and a Chinese Dinner.
