LIHUE — Gary Wong of Creations by June said he spent time sleeping near the airport (you can’t sleep at the airport) before catching the plane to Kauai for the Kauai Museum Christmas craft fair.
Wong was one of more than two dozen vendors taking up a spot in the row of tents set up behind the Kauai Museum for the annual fundraiser. The vendors were joined by a half a dozen food vendors offering a variety of food, including the traditional Hawaiian plates by the Kaiola Canoe Club.
Elena Camat has grown her offering of Chinese pretzel flavors from the days she sold the crunchy delicacy as a fundraiser for her son’s soccer trip.
“We have them at Pono Market,” Camat said. “And we still do the First Saturday event hosted by the Kapaa Business Association.”
Harvey Kinoshita said he met Mike Kim while on a trip to Honolulu and took advantage of the craft fair to reunite with his buddy who offered bamboo products, including an outdoor broom which were eagerly snatched up by customers.
Kauai Made and Kauai Grown vendors will be at the annual Holiday Fair from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday hosted by the Kauai County Farm Bureau at Kauai Community College.
