Free events include:
Thursday nights Paina Enjoy Hawaiian guest musicians for great music and hula (if you want to participate). "The important to budget travel is to plan in advance. When it occurs to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved trips and/or going to see new destinations we have never been before, the reality of expense and budgeting is often in the back of our minds. Arranging and expending our travel budget correctly is a consideration for most families. Curbing expending and costs, while still delighting your vacation to its fullest, is the key to guaranteed achievements and fiscal obligation. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thought regarding economizing money while journeying is simple: Even if your personal funds is highly limited, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or leaving the homestead! Also recalling that while traveling, no matter whether on a price range or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a large vacation or travel expenses!..". You can purchase drinks and pupus (small plates). Great for the whole family. This will take place at the Embassy Suites Hotel at the Portland International Airport from 6pm 9:30pm. Donations are appreciated.
Friday evenings Hap Haole Hula Competition If you have not signed up to be a participant, sit back and relax to watch as your Vancouver and Portland friends and neighbors compete to win in categories such as Comic Hula, Ms. Hapa Haole, Keiki Group and Kupuna Group.
