Polynesian Cultural Night at the Family History Center in St. George

Saturday Night, May 17, 2014 we attended a great Pacific Island Cultural Night. About 1,000 friends, neighbors, and visitors came to enjoy the evening. All were invited to have their picture taken against the tropical greenery. They then "traveled" from island to island to learn of the cultures of each.
The evening was topped off by the delicious taste of perfect Kahlua pork and rice while being delightfully entertained by musicians, singers, and dancers representing many of the Pacific Islands.
