(Clearwisdom.net) On the weekend of October 21-22, 2005, the Falun Dafa booth was one of the busiest places at the Holistic Fair in Asotin, Washington. The truth about Dafa has touched the hearts of many people in this community.
Falun Dafa introductory session with exercise instruction was held. The people who attended the session were quite interested in the introduction about Dafa and were very sincere about learning the exercises.

One man had a dream in which he heard the rather unusual name of the practitioner who presented the introduction, and then a few days later received a promotional brochure with her name in it. He said he thought that was a clear indication that he'd better come to find out what it was about. He drove for over an hour, bringing his mother, wife, and two teen-aged children. They all attended the introduction session, then later came to the booth to talk for quite a while. The wife sat in the booth for over an hour reading the display copy of Falun Gong.
One woman who has Multiple Sclerosis stood without her cane to do the exercises, and some very senior citizens also joined, learning how Dafa will promote flexibility very rapidly.
This year there were many people who were somewhat aware of the persecution, and they had a lot of questions about it. People just cannot understand how the Chinese Communist Party can persecute such a harmless and good hearted group of people. They are so stunned as they find out more facts.
One kind lady asked. "What can I do to help?" Then she answered her own question, "I can hold them in my heart, in the Light".
One gentleman had previously learned about Dafa in Montana, and devoted quite a lot of energy explaining the benefits of Dafa to one of the other fellows who was in the booth.
Many people come to this event just to learn about Dafa, as the event is well publicized throughout the area.
The people who attended the session came because they knew before hand and wanted to learn, rather than just wandering in from curiousity. Some of these people had come to the booth on Friday and came back to learn, others had learned about the intro from promotional materials.
The Holistic Fair has been an effective introduction and showcase for Falun Dafa in this area for the past few years, and we believe that this year the effect was far more powerful than previous years.
