Have Fun, Will Travel

Honokaa’s Western Week is coming up, May 18-27, celebrating the community’s paniolo heritage with a whole passel of activities including food, music, dancing, storytelling, cowboy culture and more. Grand Marshall this year is Honokaa’s Ambassador of Aloha Richard Tadio, and there will be a special tribute to the late Uncle William Andrade.

Schedule of events and entry forms for fun of all kinds — from parades to keiki activities to street dances, talent contests, and a rodeo — can be found online at www.honokaawesternweek.org or by following Honokaa Western Week on Facebook.
