“The K-9 show was a hit with our kids and to see the smiles on their faces and to hear our vuvale enjoying themselves was most humbling!” he continued.
“The staff at the resort are very proud to be a part of the Outrigger vuvale. They enjoy coming to work and engaging with our guests. We are a pro-active employer that always looks after the health, happiness and welfare of our staff. The carnival was a small way in which we can acknowledge the hard work of our staff”, Mr. Hopgood stated.
