The Pau Hana Market supports Chinese New Year, said Laurie Ho, the president of the Kauai County Farm Bureau who distributed free good fortune fruits and candies from behind a cute Chinese New Year display (it’s made from whatever we could find at the grab bag section at Walmart and Ace Hardware, Laurie said).

Jerry Yankowitz (AARP Tax Aide season starts for Kauai on Feb. 11) was among the helpers giving away the free fruits and candies. Bev Pang, who normally comes to help with the Kauai County Farm Bureau and Kauai Family and Community Education programs, was still recovering from the Friday night Chinese New Year-themed Flavors of Kukuiula,
Congratulations on the new flags, Tom Tannery of the YMCA of Kauai, that were installed in time for the Central Pacific Bank (mahalo for showing up, Lisa Kobayashi) Kauai Interscholastic Federation swim championships (even Scott Sato of Kauai Island Utility Cooperative was able to attend because power had been restored to Kilauea where Kilauea Elementary School had to be shut on Friday because there was no water due to no electricity to power the generators at the well).
OK, so this Saturday is the CPB KIF Wrestling Champs at the new Kauai High School gymnasium starting at 10 a.m.
Saturday is also the Hearts and Dragons celebration at Kukui Grove where a visiting Chinese lion, or lions (the Dragons part of the festivities) will keep the Chinese New Year festivities going among the Kauai Made and K+M Market vendors, the Tsunami Taiko performers, and the Valentine-themed movie night.
