Sheboygan Hmong New Year celebration filled with tradition | Sheboygan Press | sheboyganpress.com
One of Saturday's big events was an appearance by
Prince Sauryavong Savang, a member of the Lao Royal Family, which ruled Laos before communist forces seized control in 1975.
Savang now lives in France, but was brought to the United States for the Hmong New Year in a joint effort by Hmong communities in Sheboygan and Madison, said Vang Vue, president of the Hmong Mutual Assistance Association of Sheboygan County, which sponsors the event.
