(Clearwisdom.net) EPHRAIM, Utah--This small city of 5,000 people in the mountains of Utah, USA, requested that Falun Dafa practitioners come to participate in the annual Scandinavian Parade and celebration for a second year. Thousands of people had returned to their hometown to be with family and celebrate the Scandinavian heritage they share. Practitioners drove over two hours to the city. The practitioners and their children walked in the parade with a float they had made.

Several practitioners and their children passed out over 600 flyers during the one-mile-long parade.  Many people along the parade route complimented the float as the most beautiful one they had seen.

After the parade, practitioners spent time talking to people at a booth about the Falun Dafa meditation and cultivation practice. The persecution was also discussed so that these people would know the truth, that 'Falun Dafa is good' and that the Chinese Communist Party has persecuted practitioners for 10 years and used these kind practitioners as victims for organ transplants on demand. Many were appalled, but some were not at all surprised that such things were done by the Chinese Communist Party.

When practitioners started to demonstrate the graceful movements of the exercises, many asked what they were, and others asked if they could learn them. Practitioners had prepared free literature and paper lotus flowers, CDs and DVDs for people to learn about the exercises and the practice.

Some people were very curious about the "Quit the CCP" movement and were delighted to hear that over 55,000,000 Chinese had quit the Communist Party. They agreed that basic human freedoms will be good for the Chinese people.
