Congratulations, Jaedyn Janae Puahaulani Pavao on earning the 2025 Miss Aloha Hula title at the 62nd Merrie Monarch Festival in Hilo! (Karin Panui and Made Jiminez of Mailelani’s are there not to sell, but to buy!) Watching that competition (thank you, KFVE TVfor the live!) is almost like being at that Kauai Interscholastic Federation baseball game that went 19 innings over two days.
