Twentynine Palms RV Resort - Luau Week!

It has been a very busy week at Twentynine Palms RV Resort! We started the week off Monday evening with our Chinese Auction and Silent Auction - tons of fun and a great time to empty out the RV and get rid of those things you don't need or use and a fine time to discover the hidden jewel you have been looking for!

A few Pics of the Auction!

Just a small sampling of some of the items...





The bidding gets furious!



The hat he always wanted!



And a shawl!



Never know when you might need some tassels!



Luau!

The week continued with the beginning of Luau Weekend on Friday morning with the building of the fire and the opening of the fire pit!





Friday afternoon the crowd gathered by the fire pit for the blessing of the fire by our resident Witch Doctor and his Dancers!

Everyone was in a Festive Luau Mood!



The Tropical Drinks were flowing!



We had a Huge Turn-Out!



Even the Witch Doctor enjoyed some tropical juice!



After the blessing the cooking crew wrapped the Pork on Burlap and loaded the fire pit!





Then it was time to close the pit and cover it with sand!







The fire pit was opened about 18 hours later in time for Saturday Nights Dinner and Celebration!



The pork was tender and juicy and perfectly cooked!







After Dinner it was time for the entertainment!









We had a record turn-out of about 75 people - the Clubhouse was full and so was the dance floor and music by our good friend Walt Young!



Yes there was line dancing!



Lots of socializing and good times!



After the late night and losing an hour for Daylight Savings it was time for Luau Breakfast this morning!





Wonderful Quiche!

Blog Update - Can Am Challenge at Twentynine Palms RV Resort

It has been a very busy three days at Twentynine Palms RV Resort - the Annual CanAm Golf Challenge!

It is time for the Americans to challenge the Canadians to some fun golf. It is a 2 day event, with 4 separate challenges of match play! It is always a fun and festive time, with plenty of bantering back and forth regarding the golf skills!

Up to this year the standings are as follows - Canadians 6 - Americans 5 and 2 ties! It was time for the American team to try and even the score!

To capture the essence of the tournament, I felt it was the "Faces of the CanAm" that was important - hard to capture the actual golf play.....



THE FACES!

The fearless leader and Canadian Team Captain!



The American Team Captain!



The Players!





























Yesterday we held a Memorial Service for our good Park friend Bill Stock!

Bill Stock was a huge part of the success of the golf course and the Challenge always a friendly smile and great attitude, he will be missed by his many friends here!



Some great memories and stories were shared!



There was a huge turn-out!





A wonderful buffet!





Time for the results!! Will the American Team come through and tie the overall?



The crowd anxiously awaits the results!









There were some more Canadian than others!



The end result - the American Team pulled it out at the end!!
