Year of Celebration in Review

Last Year, Kalistan welcomed the world to various events during the Year of Celebration. President Bjorksdattir opened the year off with the Kaliburg Trade and Industrial Exposition where new developments in industrial and high tech products were displayed to the world. Scientists and Engineers exchanged ideas and Kalistan's major development coming out of the Exposition was the announcement of a new lubricant, which offers zero friction and zero thermal breakdown at superheated temperatures.

In September of this year, High Bong in Neveras hosted the High Bong Music, Culture, and Art Festival. Acts and performers from all over the world drew record crowds to the venue for the week long event in the cool high country along the East Wall Mountains. Kalistani Artist Diego Jones-Ananto took best in show for her mural on Kalistani cultural progress, while prizes in the international category were awarded to artists and sculptors from Luthori, Lodamun and Indrala. The Festival was highlighted with music playing on three stages during each evening and night of the show.

In December, the Year of Celebration finished up with the International Winter Sports Exposition in Suldanor. A World record in the 100m dash was set by Talmorian Runner Isaac Olofuote, with 9.17 seconds. Kalistan finished first in boating, freestyle Ocean swimming and Demolition Derby events.

Over all, during the entire year, Kalistan received visitors from every nation in Terra, and more than 2.5 million people visited all events total. President Bjorksdattir declared the celebration an unqualified success and thanks all participants and visitors for making it so.
