Stop by Big Kahuna’s BBQ on the corner of Washington and 21st Streets to see the Hula Dancers.  While you are there ask them about the $2.oo barbeque sandwich special.  I know they will be happy to serve up some of their famous barbeque.  If you had an opportunity to try their fabulous food during the community dance and car show last month you already know exactly what to expect.  Yum!!

After you finish watching the Hula Dancers,  wander around the corner and say hello to Carmen at Cha Cha Cha.  She will be happy to make sure that you receive a Salsa Dancing lesson.  There will be professional salsa dancers onsite to teach you the perfect techniques so that you will be able to dance the night away.
