Hayward residents do the hula

The Hayward Area Recreation and Park District is lighting tiki torches, putting on grass skirts, and raising Banners in anticipation of the Ice Cream Social Luau. The afternoon event combines cool tropical dances with cold treats to help residents beat the heat this summer.

The dancing is center stage at the luau, and the Rec and Park District is putting together a fantastic show. Several dancers outfitted in the traditional hula costume of a grass skirt and lei will get up to perform some of the more well-known routines. To help visitors get into the island spirit, several hula dancers will be around to teach anyone interested some moves so that they can participate in the fun.

In addition to the dancing, guests can get their own sundae up at the ice cream bar. With a multitude of toppings including chocolate fudge, strawberries, peanuts, whipped cream, and pineapple, ice cream fans can dress up their cup however they want. Plenty of dessert has been purchased, so visitors should have no fear of running out of parfait.

The Ice Cream Social Luau will be held on July 7 from 1:30 to 3:00 pm at the Kenneth C. Aitken Senior and Community Center, located at 17800 Redwood Rd. Admission is free but there will be a charge of $1.50 per sundae. Visitors are encouraged to bring either exact change or small bills if they are interested in purchasing dessert. Anyone interested in attending should contact the Recreation and Park District for more information.
