Ma hope o ka hoʻopau ʻia ʻana i ka makahiki 2020 ma muli o ka maʻi maʻi COVID-19 a i ka mahina ʻo Iune 2021, ua hoʻi ka lōʻihi o Oklahoma City Arts Festival i kāna mau lā a me nā manawa maʻamau o ʻApelila.E holo ka ʻaha kūʻokoʻa a hiki i ka lā 24 ʻApelila a puni ka Bicentennial Park ma waena o ka Civic Center a me City Hall.

Ua puka ʻo Imel mai ke kula kiʻekiʻe ʻo Harding ma Oklahoma a loaʻa iā ia kahi kekelē ma ka ʻenekinia a me ka ʻepekema noiʻi mai ke Kulanui ʻo Yale.
"Ua hana au i loko o kahi hale kūʻai lepo lepo no nā makahiki he 20 a hauʻoli loa wau," wahi āna."Ua haʻi ʻia mai iaʻu i ka wā i hala aku nei ua hoʻololi ka hapa nui o ka poʻe i nā ʻoihana ʻekolu manawa… a ua aneane wau e hana.No laila, manaʻo wau ma ke ʻano, ua hoʻi au i ka maʻamau.
ʻO kekahi o nā keiki ʻehiku, ua kapa ʻia ʻo Immel ma hope o kona makuakāne a ua haʻi ʻo ia i kāna mau talena i ka hoʻolālā a me ka ʻenekinia.ʻO Imel kahiko, i make i ka makahiki 2019, ua hana ʻo ia ma ke ʻano he ʻenekini kīwila nui ma Dolese, e alakaʻi ana i kekahi mau papahana me ke kūkulu ʻana i ka Cox Convention Center (i kēia manawa ʻo Prairie Surf Studios) a me ka Canal Bricktown.
Ma mua o kona lilo ʻana i mea kālai kiʻi, ua hoʻomaka ʻo Imel ʻōpio i kahi ʻoihana pahū pahū nui ma Oklahoma City me kona makuahōnōwai kāne ʻo Robert Maidt.
"Ua hana mākou i nā hale kiʻekiʻe a me nā papa alahaka āu e ʻike ai ma waena o Oklahoma," wahi a Immel."I loko o kou ola e loaʻa iā ʻoe nā mākau like ʻole.Ua aʻo au i ka wili a me ka braze no ka mea… ʻo ka mea nui iaʻu ka mālama ʻana i nā mea hana i loko o ka hale hana.
Ma hope o ke kūʻai ʻana i ka ʻoihana kūkulu hale, aia ʻo Imel a me kāna wahine ʻo Marie i ka ʻoihana hoʻolimalima, kahi e hoʻoponopono ai i nā mea i haki a mālama iā lākou.

“Ua ʻoi aku ia ma mua o 20 mau makahiki i hala… ʻo ka mea a lākou e nānā nei he $3,000, ʻo ka hoʻouna ʻana he $600, a pono lākou e hoʻokomo.Nānā au iā ia a—ʻo nā huaʻōlelo kaulana hope loa—i aku au, “E kuʻu Akua, e nā kāne, ʻaʻohe haneli kālā i loko.E hana wau iā ʻoe i hoʻokahi,” i hoʻomanaʻo ai ʻo Immel."ʻOiaʻiʻo, makemake wau e hana i hoʻokahi noʻu iho, a ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi o ka hana ʻana i ʻelua ma mua o hoʻokahi.Akā, ʻōlelo lākou, "ʻOiaʻiʻo."
Ua hana ʻo ia i kahi noiʻi liʻiliʻi, hoʻohana i kāna ʻike a hana i kahi kope o ke kiʻi i koho ʻia e kāna hoaaloha.
"Manaʻo wau aia lākou ma kahi ʻē aʻe.Akā, ʻaʻole iaʻu, pēlā e ʻōlelo ai.Ua hana wale au i mea na lakou, e like me ka lakou i ike ai a makemake ai.He manaʻo koʻu no kaʻu wahine, e hoʻomākaukau ana e hoʻolauleʻa i kāna makahiki 50," wahi a Immel.
Ma hope o ka hana ʻana i kahi kiʻi kiʻi no ka lā hānau o kāna wahine, ua hoʻomaka ʻo Imel e hoʻokolohua a hana i nā ʻāpana ʻoi aku ka ikaika, āna i kanu ai ma kona kua.Ua hana kona hoalauna ʻo Susie Nelson no ka ʻahaʻaina no nā makahiki he nui, a i kona ʻike ʻana i ke kiʻi kiʻi, paipai ʻo ia iā ia e noi.

I kekahi mau makahiki ma hope mai, ua hoʻomaka ʻo Immel e hoʻohui i nā ʻāpana aniani e hoʻohui i ke kala i kāna hana ikaika.Ua hoʻololi pū ʻo ia i nā poni keleawe āna i hana ai no nā kiʻi kiʻi ʻoniʻoni.
“Ua hoʻohana au i nā daimana, ua hoʻohana au i nā ovals.I kekahi manawa ua loaʻa iaʻu kahi ʻāpana i kapa ʻia ʻo "lau hāʻule" a ʻo nā kīʻaha āpau ma luna o ia mea he lau lau - ua kālai lima wau.Loaʻa iaʻu kekahi DNA no ka mea i kēlā me kēia manawa aʻu e hana ai i kekahi mea e like me kēia, ʻeha mau ia iaʻu a hoʻokahe iaʻu ...wahi a.

Ua hana ʻo Immel ma kahi o 150 mau kiʻi kiʻi makani ma ka ʻahaʻaina o kēia makahiki, āna i manaʻo ai ua lawe ʻo ia iā ia ma kahi o ʻehā mahina i ka makahiki i hala.ʻO ia a me kona ʻohana, me kāna kaikamahine, kāna kāne a me kāna moʻopuna, ua hoʻopau ʻo ia i ka hopena pule ma mua o ka hana ʻana i kāna kiʻi kiʻi.
