Because of Covid, nearly all of our December luaus cancelled, so we were free to perform for our church's Covid-safe Drive-by Christmas Party. Our grand-daughter, accompanied by the Chief, warmed the hearts of over 200 people who drove up to our house to see the show. We decorated our front yard with a Mele Kalikimaka theme, and encouraged folks to take an Almond Joy bar (with some hand sanitizer) on a curbside table.

Our biggest luau of the Covid summer was a drive-through luau where people didn't have to get out of their cars. Kind of like a ride at Disneyland--think the Autopia ride--only everyone drove Range Rovers and Teslas instead of mini cars. Instead of seeing automated characters and Mickey Mouse, they saw the real thing--hula girls, fire-dancers, and island musicians, spread out throughout the "ride". At the end of the ride, they received a big family sized bag of freshly grilled teriyaki chicken, pulled pork, and more, topped with a lei! Everyone in their community took their feast home and ate it in the shade of their very own manicured front yards, with neighbors within shouting distance. This is our ninth year entertaining and feeding 600-700 people at  Talega of San Clemente. They had cancelled it this year, because of Covid, and then the Chief got very creative!  #Hawaiiancatering #hawaiiandancers#hawaiianfood #luauideas #hoaideas
