Paul Togioka gave Kaua‘i people a taste of why he was nominated for a Grammy award. His rendering of Christmas carols on a banjo Friday night atop the Hawaiian Telcom float was very unique.

Bruce and Christy Parsil were both enjoying some fish tacos with Glenn and Carla Kaser, and fish taco creator Asanti Fuller told Heather Thompson she was going to be famous.

Congratulations to coordinator Nani Kaluna for putting the entire event together.
