What better way to welcome summer to this “little bit of paradise” than with a luau? The Canyon Lake Campground Club will be hosting a “Welcome to Summer Luau” next Saturday, May 17 from 3 to 8 p.m. at Happy Camp, and residents are invited to come for the day or camp out for the weekend and get to know club members.
According to president Alex Cook, the club felt this would be the perfect way to showcase to the community some of the improvements it has been able to undertake at the Campground, along with the help of the POA Campground Committee, using money raised at previous events. Both the Ice Cream Social held in September and the Harvest Festival Campout in October were well attended by residents interested in helping fund beautification and clean up efforts at the unique community amenity, allowing the club to purchase new grass and sod, as well as improve the horseshoe pits and playground equipment.
The two groups have also worked together to develop a new layout for Happy Camp, which they hope to bring in front of the Long Range Committee soon. The new plans call for a single 30-foot wide loop road to replace the two winding 12-foot paths. In addition, all spots will be graded level and extended to 65 feet long to accommodate larger RVs. “In my eyes, this is a three-year plan,” says Alex.
At next weekend’s luau, residents will be able to indulge in an authentic Hawaiian meal, thanks to donations by the May and Cameron families as well as the local Albertson’s, which will include Kalua pig, honey barbecue chicken and Hawaiian rice for just $6; in addition, barbecued corn on the cob and hot dogs will be available for “haoles,” or mainlanders, and sno-cones, popcorn, water and sodas will also be sold throughout the course of the event.
Entertainment will include live music and dancing, kids can have their faces painted and limbo and hula-hoop contests are planned as well. Silent raffle items will include a beach cruiser, long board skateboard and two gift baskets; tickets can be purchased for $1 each. The evening will end with an outdoor showing of “Surf’s Up,” an animated “documentary” of the Penguin World Surfing Championship.
