As the second attraction, kindergarteners at the "Akebono" kindergarten, one of a kindergarten in Tendo city, danced about Daihachi YOSHIDA. Daihachi YOSHIDA was a higher class samurai of Tendo Oda han(clan), he is known that he made an opportunity to manufacture shogi pieces in Tendo.

Main event of this year was the dance contest "ParaParaGassen 2001 in TENDO". The new landmark building of Yamagata city "Kajou Central" was opened on January 1, 2001 next to the Yamagata station. At the opening event of this building, many young people performed Japanese fashionable dance "Parapara". And famous Parapara dancers "ParaPara All Stars" who also performed at that event taught visitors and the best dancer was presented the free ticket of Tokyo Disney Land.

It snowed during the event, same as a performance of "Myoken Daiko". They looked miserable because they danced with a mini in heavy snow.
