Jill and I will be attending a huge luau in Forest Grove on Saturday, April 8. The thing is apparently quite a deal, with over 2,200 people attending annually. Here's a link to the press release about the luau. Here's even more startling information about the size of it, particularly the freight of food and goods from the islands involved:
Luau of Hawaiian Club at Pacific University
Aramark at Pacific University for ten years has been hosting the parents and supplies for five days each year. We offer the parents free meals and use of our kitchen while they prepare their Luau meal for their annual Luau at Pacific University that is open to the community. Luau is a time when 'Ohana comes together to celebrate and share our culture with the extended Pacific Community. This event has an average crowd of 2200. Over 18,000 lbs. of cargo shipped in from the Islands, and over 100 parents, siblings, grandparents, aunties and uncles arrive to prepare a Traditional Luau Meal and show and this is the largest mainland Luau west of the Mississippi. This year will be the Luau 46th Annual Benefit Luau.
