Ryan Valenciano (remember him from the Mokihana Aquatics — they have their Fun Meet coming up Saturday and Sunday at the Kapaa pool — days?) was able to introduce his fiance, Akane Miyagawa (she said she is the omiyage) during the Mahelona Hospital bon dance (Kauai Veterans Memorial Hospital host their bon dance Friday night from 5:30 p.m.) where Josie Pablo put the new dining hall to good use.

Kudos to the employees of both Mahelona and KVMH who combined to offer the celebration to residents. Gini Kapali and Faith Shiramizu had free fish pond for adults, and kudos to Tara Punzal and Waianela Boiser for getting the Kapaa High School National Honor Society students to help with the fun and games.
Codi Watry said they waited an hour for the andagi at the Kapaa Hongwanji bon dance so had to go through the wait for flying saucers (hamburger, apple, or azuki?) at the Mahelona bon dance where Florrie Toyofuku was all excited in her kimono.
Happy the Clown found an amazing rabbit for a dollar at the rummage sale where funds will be used toward the HHSC, Kauai Region hospitals’ holiday fun, and the Joyful Noise taiko ensemble was just getting warmed up for its long weekend of bookings.
