Linfield Luau 2011

We went to McMinnville, OR to watch Brent perform in his 3rd Linfield College Hawaiian Club Luau.

The students put in many, many hours of planning, practice and preparation for the event. The day's festivities include a luau that the kids plan. The food has been provided by Patrick's Hawaiian Food in Vancouver, WA for the past few years and is well-received by all. This is held in the Fieldhouse along with a Country Store that attracts many local residents that includes lots of Hawaii expats.

The highlight of the evening is the show in the gym.

The event drew over 1200 people this year!

It's nice that friends from surrounding colleges come to support their high school buddies, The two guys on the outside came from Southern Oregon U. and Western Oregon U.

This was the second year that Brent and his cousin, Tori have been in the show together.

Linfield Luau 2010

This was our second time attending the Luau at Linfield. The theme this year was 96 Degrees in the Shade.
The students did another terrific job with the show last night!

Of course, the parental support was tremendous again and even more special because one of the Freshmen parents worked so hard in making these costumes for the Tongan number, Wini Fotu Malimali. They actually pounded out the kapa! The kids were so blown away when they saw the costumes for the first time on Friday.

This year Brent was joined at Linfield by his cousin, Tori Ann. They surprised her parents and us on this number, Holo Wa'apa, when they paired up for the number right in front of our seats!
