Delegation from Cook Islands gives final performance in Hawaii

The 13th Festival of Pacific Arts & Culture officially ended Sunday, but with only one Hawaiian Airlines flight operating weekly on Saturdays from Honolulu to Rarotonga, Cook Islands, about 50 Cook Island delegates remained in Hawaii. They decided to hold one last performance at Waikiki Beach Walk on Tuesday evening before their departure.
