Welcome to the 2009 program for the Youth Room sponsored by Imagination International. The Youth Room is located south of the Exhibit Hall. (Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times.)

During the Celebration, visit the Youth Room for nonstop fun with ongoing games, educational activities, workshops, demonstrations and more!

Kids! Don't forget to pick up your event ESAAY Passport to Adventure. A limited number (2,000)of the passports are available at the entrance. Celebrate the event theme "Heart of Asia" by taking your passport around the festival site to learn about important discoveries in Asia or by Asian and Asian Americans. Look for clues to find your passport destinations at the festival. For younger children, we have placed an enlarged picture of the passport stamp at each booth to make it easier to find. Once your passport is completely stamped, visit the ESAAY (Eugene Springfield Asian American Youth)Booth in the Marketplace and receive a prize!
