Happy Camper for Monday, Feb. 11, 2013

Liz Hahn got to do a special appearance with her betta fish Saturday at the Kaua‘i Community Market just in time for “My Finny Valentine.”

Valentine’s falls on Thursday and Liz had her special fishes available for both inspection and sale, a lot of the customers stopping to discuss fish tales.

Melissa McFerrin said the rush is for flowers and a lot of the vendors were either sold out, or doing really well. Elvrine Chow even had time for Chinese New Year with her kids’ lion dance at the K.I.D.S. School in Kapa‘a.

One of Sandi Kato-Klutke’s customers was enjoying the Valentine-y Ginger Beet Lemonade from Hanalei Taro. Does that go with Mango Muffins?

Hats off to Melanie Okamoto, James Kealalio (he was checking out wrestling on Saturday), and all those Parks and Recreation people on a great Valentine’s Day Party Friday!

Kaua‘i Fire Chief Robert Westerman had some of his fire fighters out dancing with the kupuna, along with the mayor and even Lenny Rapozo.
