The addition of the Spring Festival coordinated by the University of Hawaii – Kauai Student Activities Council drew thousands of people to the Garden Fair coordinated by the Kauai County Farm Bureau Saturday.
“The addition of the students is a big boost to the fair,” said Melissa McFerrin-Warrack, event coordinator. “We have lots of people congregated by the entertainment tent near the food vendors, and there are people shopping everywhere.”
More than 60 vendors offering garden, agricultural and education, including live workshops, about growing filled the front area of the Kauai Community College, which had to open additional areas to accomodate parking.
“This is one of the best crowds I’ve seen in a long time,” said Jerry Ornellas, president of the Kauai County Farm Bureau. “And everyone looks happy.”
The Easter theme took over many of the activities including the egg hunt, petting zoo with lots of chicks and rabbits.
Other vendors offered previews of the upcoming May 3 special Kauai Made/Kauai Grown Mother’s Day market at the Kauai Community College.
