If you’re trying to decide what to do this weekend, you came to the right place.
Your choices are so many on Saturday, it’s likely you’ll end up going to more than one event. One thing for sure, you won’t — or you shouldn’t — end up staying home.
What do you feel like supporting with your hard-earned money?
The Kauai Veterans Museum?
The Kauai Humane Society?
The National Tropical Botanical Society?
Or maybe you would rather get in some exercise.
Or how about a movie?
Or would you like to root for keiki in a surfing contest?
Whatever it is, you’ll have some tough decisions to make. The good news is, no matter what you pick, you win.
