The Wauconda Lions Club is proud to present Aloha Chicago on Thursday, July 14, as part of the weekly Chamber of Commerce Farmers Market on Main Street.
Aloha Chicago (www.alohachicago.com) is an acclaimed troupe performing authentic Polynesian music and dances throughout the area, and has been featured on numerous area TV and radio broadcasts, in the Tribune, Sun-Times and Daily Herald.
At 6 p.m. Thursday, July 14, they will present an authentic Hula Show and conduct a Hula contest for children. The show is free and will take place on Main Street in downtown Wauconda.
The Wauconda Lions, with the cooperation of the Chamber of Commerce, is providing the free show to celebrate the Club's annual Dream Vacation Raffle, their primary annual fund-raiser.
