Tiffany Sagucio (she came out of hiding Sunday!) said the Kaua‘i Filipino Community Council is recruiting girls for the next Miss Kaua‘i Filipina scholarship pageant after she’s retained the crown and honor for nearly three years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Tiffany met up with Lea Nuesca of Love Lea at the Pop Swap, where they (Duane Miyasato was wrapping up three days of street marketing after participating in the Little Pea’s Pop Up Holiday Market to benefit Seeley Borges!) had ringside seats for Norman Ka‘awa and friends at Kukui Grove Center in Lihu‘e.
It was definitely entertainment in the ol’ style with kumu Kapu Kinimaka-Alquiza and her Hula O Kaohikukapulani and their unique musicians.
Kimberly Hope is scheduled for two more appearances before Christmas: Thursday starting at 6 p.m. at the KGC food court stage before the Holiday Light show, and once more on livestream. She is definitely a musical treat.
Kudos, Chris Machorek and ‘ohana, on hosting the Blood Bank of Hawai‘i “Give Blood. End Hunger” blood drive, where Hawai‘i Foodbank Kaua‘i’s Michelle Panoke and Tisha Ruiz had to drive a lot after delivering food for the Winter Fun in Waimea and make Michelle’s appointment Monday.
Chef Chanel Mitchell of the Sheraton Kaua‘i Coconut Beach Resort in Waipouli is wrapping up the first half of Chanel Presents, a Pop-Up, Chef-Inspired pairings event, and will punctuate the series with a limited-seating Christmas event (yes, reservations are required) before resuming the Chanel Presents pairings next Tuesday and Wednesday.
Is it Christmas yet?
