Culturefest was filled with food and entertainment from numerous cultures including African, Asian, European, Latin American and Mediterranean ethnicity. Highlights of the afternoon were African Soul Dancers expressing their culture through African drum playing and dancing, Irish and Greek dancing and Scottish bagpipe playing.

The festival was sponsored by the Humanitarian Aid Society of Lake Ridge Academy and supported by a grant from the Youth Fund of the Community Foundation of Greater Lorain County.

"The idea of Culturefest came about when Lake Ridge students decided they not only wanted to become knowledgeable of various cultures through informative sessions, but to celebrate the diversity of cultures in a festive atmosphere," states Dr. Betsy Glor, Lake Ridge teacher and supervisor to the Humanitarian Aid Society. All proceeds go to the Revolutionary Association of Afghanistan Women (RAWA) who strive for equality and educational opportunities for women and children.
