From the transcript
This last May, we just completed our 21 years since we started our Asian and Pacific Island Heritage Month, and we did that down at the Park Strip last Saturday, even though it was cold, but It was a lot of people there. I think people were just dying to get out of the house, but it was a lot of people, about 1,500 people. They would come in every day, the whole Saturday through the whole, the whole day. So it was good. And then also we started a pageant in Alaska, Alaska Miss Pacific Island Pageant, and for 3 years now.
