Shirin McArthur On a clear summer evening, families flocked to the Bataan Memorial Park in Santa Clara for the Tikis & Tacos Luau, presented by the coalition that created 101 Things for Youth to Do in Grant County this summer. With live music, games, and free food, there was plenty of laughter and activities for all ages.
