POLYNESIA |
An opportunity to buy an oyster with a pearl inside is one of the attractions at the Polynesian Village. The village is built around two South Sea island "long houses" - one a restaurant, the other a setting for Polynesian dances. South Sea palm tress are planted about and there is a lagoon where beautiful Polynesian girls pilot outrigger canoes and natives dove for oysters. The oysters were transported to Flushing Meadows from Pacific pearl beds.
| Several grass roofed stands outside the main pavilion offered a variety of souvenirs and snacks. (CD22 Set 116 #8) |
