| - This past weekend, my son and I attended the "Prince Jonah Kuhio Ho'olaule's Pacific Island Festival." Boy did we have fun. We literally walked from one end of the festival to the other end. There was lots of different booths of food, shaved ice, beer, jewelry, clothing, accessories, and live entertainment. We got there around 430pm since we had lots of errands to run that day. Within the short time that we were there since it was open 9a to 6p, one day only, we can say that it was a blast. I bought for me a couple of Hibiscus Kukui Nut Hawaiian Leis, and a few hair picks. For Lil Man, I got him a Hawaiian necklace and shorts. The entertainment that we saw was on one of the festival was different bands playing, and near the entrance was Faith Thompson.. As for the food, they had all kinds, but the one both that we stopped at was the Samoan booth were I was very excited because I finally got some food that have always ate since I was little.. Palusami and rice. I was a little disappointed that they did not have taro and bananas, but the palusami and rice was good enough for me. As we walked around, we rang into other Samoans who were selling sushi rolls that were the size of my hand stretched out for $1 each.. I bought three, ate one and took the other two home. Here is one of the websites that you can go to in order to purchase precious gifts - www.hulumakana.com. Another company booth that we went to was for the Polynesian Creations. We are planning on going to the next one at the end of the month, which will be located at the Silverton Casino.
