The Jow Ga Lion Dance team performs in front of a restaurant on the north side of H St NW as a restauranteur prepares to throw lit firecrackers at the lion as it blesses his restaurant. Hoy K. Lee, visiting from Virginia Beach, can be seen in the white shirt. Troy Williams plugs his ears in anticipation of the firecrackers which all the performers will simply have to endure. Eugene Mackie, Jr. is the small child in front of him.
