The show features carved masks, beautiful button blankets and some keen special effects. The stage and performance are much improved since the last AAJA convention in 1991. The food is surprisingly tasty...traditional baked salmon (they cook them on wooden splits right before your eyes), whole grain bread, red potatoes, fresh salad, dessert chocolate salmon and coffee, tea or lemonade. The village is located on a state park. Some hiking, some deer, enjoy crushing the clam shells underfoot along the beach! ASIAN AMERICAN JOURNALISTS ASSOCIATION SEATTLE CHAPTER P.O.
