2016 Theme: Our Troops
Bring Home Paradise -
The Tiki Explosion after
WWII!!!
"When American
servicemen returned
home from World War
II, they brought
with them stories
and souvenirs from
the South Pacific.
James Michener won
the 1948 Pulitzer
Prize for his
collection of short
stories, Tales of
the South Pacific,
which in turn was
the basis for South
Pacific, the 1949
musical by Rodgers
and Hammerstein,
also a Pulitzer
Prize winner. All
of this helped fuel
the Polynesian Pop
or Tiki Culture in
the U.S."
In honor of this
time in history we'll
have a Polynesian show
with Kalama Polynesian
Dancers! Complete with
fire/fire knife dancers,
elaborate traditional
costumes and Hula and
Haka lessons! We'll be
serving up some
beautiful tropical
drinks along with a hot,
hot Limbo contest and
more!
