Aunties Angels holiday tree

Aunties Angels and The Fish Hopper are teaming up to support Hookena and Kahakai Elementary Schools’ reading programs with an Angel Holiday Tree. The tree, set up at The Fish Hopper, has different colored angels on it — Red Angels for girl books, green for boys and yellow for teacher gifts — to take and donate an age-appropriate gift. Please take one and give the gifts of reading and encouragement to first- and second-graders this holiday season.

Botanical World Adventures honoring veterans and active military

In honor of Veterans Day, Botanical World Adventures will be offering free admission to their gardens, as well as free zipline and Segway tours, for all veterans and active military with a valid military photo ID for the week of Nov. 11-17.

Spots for this promotion are limited on each tour so it is recommended guests call 963-5427 to make reservations. In addition, friends and family joining veterans at Botanical World Adventures will receive a special 50 percent discount off all tours and garden admission.

Botanical World Adventures is open daily from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and is located 16 miles north of Hilo at mile marker 16 on Highway 19.
