On June 30 about 150 Falun Gong practitioners came to the park to celebrate "Zhen-Shan-Ren" Day in the City of Rockdale.

Practitioners gave a demonstration of the five sets of exercises and displayed posters on the persecution of Falun Gong in China. One newly immigrated practitioner related his personal persecution experience in China.

Senator George Thompson and Kent Johns also gave speeches to support Falun Gong and the principles of Zhen-San-Ren.
