Outrigger Resorts Rainbow Classic Celebrates 50th Anniversary

The storied college tournament will tip off its 50th year of play Nov. 14, 15 and 17

It's a special season for college basketball fans in Hawaii as the Outrigger Resorts Rainbow Classic celebrates 50 years of stellar play, with on-court action set for Nov. 14, 15, and 17. The University of Hawaii (UH) men's basketball team will tip off the season against California's CSU Bakersfield in a round-robin tournament, which also includes Arkansas-Pine Bluff and North Carolina's High University.

Fans can also score this season with special room and game ticket packages at several Outrigger properties, valid November 13 to 18. Find out more at www.outrigger.com/specials/ promotion/2014-rainbow-classic.

"The Outrigger Resorts Rainbow Classic is a beloved tradition in the community, and we're thrilled to celebrate 50 years of incredible college basketball with this year's tournament," said David Carey, president and CEO at Outrigger Enterprises Group. "While only one team will take home the trophy, everyone in Hawaii wins when the Outrigger Resorts Rainbow Classic comes to town."

Established in 1964 by Red Rocha and Chuck Leahey, the Outrigger Resorts Rainbow Classic has seen nail-biting on-court action and played host to a number of athletes who went on to become some of the biggest names in the game. Over the last 50 years, players have included Michael Jordan, Pete Maravich, Elvin Hayes, and Isiah Thomas, to name a few, as well as some of the game's most illustrious coaches, including Dean Smith (North Carolina), Bob Knight (Indiana), Mike Krzyzewski (Duke), and Roy Williams (Kansas).

Outrigger Resorts Rainbow Classic highlights include the 1970 tournament Michael Jordan and his infamous dunk when UH's "Fabulous Five" made its mark and the Bows won its own style at the Rainbow Classic in 1982. tournament for the first time as Jerome Freeman captured Most Outstanding Player (MOP) honors. The following year, UH took home the trophy once again with winning MOP honors after setting two tournament records - most rebounds in a game (30 against Arizona State University) and most rebounds in the tournament (52). In 1990, UH captured the Classic crown once again over then-number 11 Pittsburgh, and in 1997, UH upset then-number two Kansas before a sellout crowd, marking the biggest upset in UH basketball history. To date, UH has won the Rainbow Classic title 13 times.

"We are looking forward to celebrating 50 years of the Classic alongside our trusted sponsor Outrigger Resorts, whose commitment to our community and student athletes is very much appreciated," said Ben Jay, UH athletics director.

University of Hawaii students and alumni also had the chance to get in on the 50th anniversary action with the Outrigger Resorts Rainbow Classic t-shirt contest. In addition to having their design grace the front of the limited-edition Outrigger Resorts 50th Anniversary Rainbow Classic promo t-shirt, the winning designer also received a two-night stay at the Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resort. Congratulations to alumni Leigh Ann Eaton for her winning design.

The anniversary t-shirts will be a hot item at this year's tournament, as they will not be for sale. The only way to secure a limited-edition t-shirt at the tournament will be if you are an on-court contestant for one of Outrigger's half-time games played during each of the UH games, or if you catch a t-shirt during the Outrigger t-shirt toss at UH tournament games. T-shirts will also be offered as prizes during a week-long "RT & Win" Twitter contest Nov. 10-14 leading up to the tournament. Follow @OutriggerResort for details starting Nov. 3.

Fan's will also have chances to win Outrigger overnight stays each night with the "Outrigger Paddle Cam" promotion; and each evening, 1,000 "rollabanners" will be handed out to fans as they enter the Stan Sheriff Arena (while supplies last).

Sheraton Princess Kaiulani Presents the Return of a Magical Fairytale Winter Wonderland of Edible Artistry for the Holidays

By popular demand of the local community, Sheraton Princess Kaiulani Hotel will continue the showcase of an extraordinary edible Gingerbread Village themed “From Hawaii to the World, a Fairytale Christmas” by Executive Chef Ralf Bauer. The well-liked Gingerbread Village will be displayed from November 27 through the first week of January in the Main Lobby near hotel’s Pikake Terrace Restaurant. Guests and kama’aina are invited to view the enchanting Gingerbread Village made from gingerbread and other sweet treats.

Executive Chef Bauer started the tradition of constructing an artistic Gingerbread Village almost 20 years ago to celebrate the holiday season. Each year since its inception, Chef Bauer’s creative appetite continues to grow along with the Gingerbread Village’s size. This year’s edible focal piece is considered the largest structure Chef Bauer has ever created using gingerbread. He will be paying tribute to the Neuschwanstein Castle located in Germany, built in 1869 and known to be one of the most iconic castles in Europe. The reconstructed gingerbread castle will measure over 10 feet long and stand over six feet tall. The award- winning Gingerbread Village’s assembly team will include Pantry Chef Amie Tungpalan, Executive Sous Chef John Hightower and the hotel’s Engineering Department all led by Executive Chef Bauer. Over 800 hours will be spent by the dynamic team in designing, constructing and assembling the Gingerbread Village. The final masterpiece will feature a two-level village measuring approximately 12 feet long and over 20 feet in height. This village will be displayed at a new location near the hotel’s Pikake Terrace Restaurant. The team will use over 140 pounds of dark chocolate, 80 pounds of white chocolate, 80 sheets of gingerbread, and 300 pounds of icing to create this magnificent winter village.

Due to Neuschwanstein Castle’s intricate design and detail, the featured structure will be a massive undertaking by Chef Bauer and his team. “I personally visited the castle and it’s just a tremendous building both in size and its detailed beauty,” said Chef Bauer. “When you see the castle, it feels as though you’ve entered into a different world.” In addition to this year’s featured Neuschwanstein Castle, the Gingerbread Village will also include annual favorites such as Hawaii’s iconic Aloha Tower and Kawaihao Mission Church, Eiffel Tower, medieval churches, bell towers, train stations, and a cable car.

Sheraton Princess Kaiulani won “Orbitz Best Decked Out Holiday Hotel” in 2009 specifically for the Gingerbread Village. For more information, please call Sheraton Princess Ka‘iulani at 808-922-5811 or visit www.princess-kauilani.com.
