Another successful Hawaiian Luau picnic at Las Palmas Park is in the books. This was Nisei Ski Club’s first outdoor gathering since our picnic last year was cancelled due to the pandemic!
With the wildfires near South Lake Tahoe creating smoky conditions, we thought our picnic was going to be a bust. Adding to that, the day before was a scorcher with temperatures well in the 100s.
So, we tried to get the word out to start the picnic earlier. As it turns out, the weather was beautiful and sunny. A nice breeze in the shade helped to lower the temperature. The air quality was moderate and quite clear.
Thirty past and present Nisei Ski Club members showed up, bringing plenty of food to share. We had vegetarian sandwiches, chicken wings, BBQ ribs, hot dogs, chicken salad, chili, pulled pork, roast pork buns, fried rice and plenty of pasta salads. And don’t forget the dessert and chilled watermelon. A big thank you to those who brought something to share. No one went home hungry.
[ngg src=”galleries” ids=”15″ display=”basic_slideshow”]We decided not to proceed with the LEFT, RIGHT, CENTER game because of the fear of multiple handling of dollar bills from person to person.
Everyone had a good time gathering and catching up. If you think about it, it’s been over year and a half since we’ve seen some of our members in person. The talk of the day was about who was going on the Steamboat trip. The trip is now filled. If you are still thinking about going, please send in your deposit so we can add you to the waiting list.
Look for future Nisei Ski Club events which include a Zoom cooking class and a bicycle ride in October / November.
Be safe all. Keep wearing those masks if you are in an indoor group setting.
