The pink troll was joined by Macee Martinez in greeting shoppers and passing out chocolate roses Saturday when the Kaua‘i Made vendors pop-up brought a steady stream of shoppers to Kukui Grove Center.
Yes, Genki Sushi opened for sit-down dining Friday!.
And Mike Keale was perfect with the Valentine kine music.
Julie Demond of Jules by the Sea was worried about the traffic going to Kapa‘a because she was scheduled to do community basketball afterwards, and Brenda Biehler Turville of Showtime Characters (is Branch coming to Toddler Tuesday?) was concerned about getting to Wailua on time. No, Kaua‘i Interscholastic Federation soccer was at the Mayor Bryan J. Baptiste Sports Complex stadium, too.
Edwin Vea was trying to get people to come visit Madi Jimenez of Mailelani’s, and Annette Hashimoto had kimono to tie in with the Japanese theme in one of the Kaua‘i Quilt Show quilts and the handbags at Mailelani’s. Now, who’s got the obi?
Mahalo, Neill Sams of Orchid Alley, for that text showing some of the new orchid varieties out for Valentine’s Day (yikes, that’s today!) that are being shown by Fely Sams and chef Jakki Nelson. OK,so maybe we can check it out in-person when the Sunshine Market happens.
