We were directed through a maze to our parking spot and then got into a line up to wait for a shuttle, which turned out to be some volunteer in his own van. So, it took about a half hour until we finally got to the event. It was very hot, with little shade and of course we never brought our umbrella so it was a hot, sweaty time. We watched a few performers, Mary and Jan took a hula lesson and we strolled through some of the music booths that were set up selling......ukuleles. There were a couple of impressive ukulele performers. One was Aldrine Guerrero: https://www.facebook.com/aldrine/info?tab=page_info
and Kris Fuchigama :

That evening we went back to the Blue Dragon for Mary's belated birthday celebration.
On Monday we went up to Waimea to check out the Paniolo (cowboy) museum. We ran into some cold rainy weather but I learned a lot about saddles and horse riding that I knew nothing about. Like posting, oxbow stirrups and tapideros. After this we visited Honokaa, the Waipio Valley lookout and then we took Jan and Ray to the Seafood Bar for Happy Hour. We finished the day off with barbecued steaks back at the house.
