Food festival offers up a feast Come hungry. A popular food festival will be held Saturday at 4 p.m. at the Hamilton Malayalee Samajam Park, 1095 Woodburn Road, Glanbrook. Along with all-you-can eat food for $15 ($5 for kids 6-12 and free for younger tots), there will be clowns, face-painting, a bouncy castle, games, cricket, volleyball and soccer. The food festival will offer 12 different Indian specialties, including Kerala-style dishes. As part of the event, the Hamilton Malayalee Samajam will also be cohosting a stem cell registry drive. Dr. Nalini Ambady, a mother and the first female South Asian professor at Harvard and Stanford, has leukemia and needs a bone marrow donor. Fewer than 2 per cent of those in the donor registry are South Asian, and there is no match for Nalini or for 40 other South Asian Canadians who are waiting for a stem cell transplant. The Hamilton Malayalee Samajam is a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserve the heritage of the region of Kerala, in southern India, and promoting cultural harmony. On the web: hmsnet.ca.
