JETAARM Night at Coors Field
JETAARM members gathered at Coors Field, eagerly anticipating the Rockies vs. Angels game and the chance to witness Shohei Ohtani's exceptional skills. Despite a tough night for Ohtani and the Rockies, with the Angels securing a historic 25-1 victory, the atmosphere remained lively. The game etched its name in the record books, boasting the largest margin of victory in Angels' history and the largest margin of loss in Rockies' history. Ohtani, although facing challenges at the plate, had a standout performance in other games at Coors Field over the weekend. As his last scheduled visit for the season concluded, JETAARM members eagerly anticipate future opportunities to support Ohtani if he returns to Denver's ballpark.

Immerse yourself in the vibrant world of Japanese culture at the Denver Sakura Festival! We are excited to share our unforgettable experience at this year's festival. From captivating taiko drum performances to traditional dances and colorful attire, the event transported attendees to the heart of Japan. Our presence at the festival allowed us to promote the JET program, connect with JET alums, and engage with the broader Asia-focused community. Despite the scorching summer days, the festival radiated the beauty of Japanese culture against the picturesque backdrop of Colorado. Join us as we celebrate the enduring traditions and forge lasting connections at the Denver Sakura Festival!
