Keauhou, HI

A PARTY IS BEING PLANNED AND YOU ARE INVITED!

The 6th Annual Avocado Festival kicks off on Thursday, February 16 at the Keauhou Beach Resort Kalanikai Beach Bar & Grill from 5:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m., with a Silent Auction Fundraiser for Kona Pacific Public Charter School! This will be an exciting evening of music, dancing, tasty avocado pupu’s & a silent auction showcasing local businesses.

Kumu Kahikina and the Kona Pacific students will start things off with their talented ukulele playing, followed by Stephanie Bolton and her belly dance troupe, “Incense” and then the main entertainment: Nahko and Medicine for the People, a band that brings heartfelt joy to their audiences and makes you get up on your feet!

Tickets are now available at the Kona Pacific Public Charter School or online at www.brownpapertickets.com/event/225864. Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for children. The event ticket also includes Kona Brewery lager, avocado pupu’s and fun and memorable entertainment.
I am co-chairing this fundraiser for my children’s school, Kona Pacific Public Charter School and am excited to have the event at the newly opened Kalanikai Beach Bar located at the Keauhou Beach Resort. Proceeds will benefit both the school and to underwrite the Avocado Festival, a free community event being held on Saturday, February 18th from 10-5 pm at the Keauhou Beach Resort grounds. On Friday night, there will be an avocado themed “Farm to Fork” dinner at the Kealekekua Bed and Breakfast.

More information can be found at www.avocadofestival.org.

The Big Island is prime avocado-growing country. Some 200 varieties flourish here and many will be available for tasting at the Festival. The avocados being used to create delicious pupu’s for the fundraiser were harvested from event organizer, Randyl Rupar’s own 15 acre organic avocado farm. SO, drink some local brew, eat some local avo’s, hear some inspirational, soul touching music and support a school that teaches the children about Hawaiian culture, how to care for the land and respect the people. Its ALL SO GOOD!

Explore Keauhou Bay - Kailua-Kona, HI

One of my favorite places to visit in Kailua-Kona is Keauhou Bay. This picturesque little bay is always both peaceful and yet bustling with activity. Every morning Keauhou Bay awakens to fishermen and scuba divers launching their boats for the days adventure, kayakers gathering for their morning tour and walkers pacing past.  The Fairwind catamaran snorkel tour departs from Keauhou Bay twice a day taking snorkelers to the Capt. Cook monument in historic Kealakekua Bay where the reef is a national underwater preserve. Keauhou Bay is also home to the Keauhou outrigger Canoe Club, which competes in races throughout the Hawaiian Islands and Pacific. The Manta Ray night dive also takes place in the bay where these gentle and graceful giants feed on plankton as snorkelers and divers watch.

Prior to European contact, Keauhou Bay and surrounding areas was the home of the Alii or ruling class. It was considered Kapu or taboo place to commoners. Today everyone is welcome to visit Keauhou Bay.  So, if you are looking for a place to explore, head on down to Keauhou Bay and see whats happening.

Keauhou Kona shoreline on the Big Island of Hawaii

We are over on the Big Island of Hawaii for a few days of relaxation, staying in the Keauhou Kona area along the south coast. It's quite warm here with daytime temperatures in the 80's, and no real breeze to speak of. Though it's beautiful and calm we kind of miss our Haiku Maui home with the cooling trade winds and gentle rain showers.

Sure, real estate prices are lower here, but you get what you pay for. We saw some of those super-low priced lots in Mountain View on the Hilo side... No thanks! Vog, bog and frogs!

While it's nice to get away, it's even better to come home, especially if your home is on Maui. Maui No Ka Oi.

Keauhou Kona, I heart you!
