Young and young at heart enjoy Hawaiian-themed party in Ansonia

Tiare Kahana leads members of the Ansonia High School Human Relations Club in dance.

ANSONIA - On Thursday I attended an inter-generational event sponsored by the Ansonia High School Human Relations Club.

The fun started in the gym with a performance by entertainers Tiare Kahana, Samoan fire knife dancer Taki Aiolupotea, and Kawika, a drummer who used the Hawaiian ipu gourd and the Tahitian toere log drum.

I must admit I was relieved when I wasn't chosen to get up and learn how to hula with the pros.

The program concluded in the cafeteria with a delicious dinner, to which I was invited. Much appreciated!

Samoan dancer Taki Aiolupotea shows his 'fire-eating' skill.
