The Ho'olaulea (Block Party)

Tiny Wahine . Jr. dancers of the halau Hare Tiare Tahitian Hula School here in Hilo. This group with male and female dancers 3 to 40 years of age danced tonight at Hilo's 2004 Hoolaulea, Bayfront Blockparty...

Its not an event that I care too much about I worked for another jeweler in 2002, and was open for the duration of the thing and it was awful, Last year we stayed open late and got not business, so this year I closed at 5 like normal. I saw fewer vendors and really few participants that in the past which may be a commentary on the economic situation here. Its just to expensive to come over from the neighbor islands or even Kona for an evening.

I thought that these girls were just delightful. They were just about to go on stage and were so excited. Did very well too with their dancing.
