Kohala Style Luau- in this month’s Ke Ola Magazine
Tuesday, January 11th, 2011
Ka Hana No’eau has another Kohala Style Lu’au on Saturday, February 5th, 9 am – 2 pm at the Kohala Intergenerational Center (Behind Hisaoka Gym in Kamehameha Park) in Kapa’au. Tickets are $45, call 884-5838 for reservations. The Kohala Style Lu‘au is a fundraiser for Ka Hana No‘eau’s 10 x 10 x 10,000 project, a taro growing project that addresses both food self-sufficiency and economic development in North Kohala. It was totally cool and I wrote an article about it for Ke Ola Magazine.
Ever been to a lu‘au and got to make your own lau lau? (Say that 10 times fast!) Ka Hana No‘eau and the Hawaii FFA Foundation have created the Kohala Style Lu‘au, where visitors and residents get mentored by Kohala locals in how to prepare all of the traditional lu‘au foods. And then, of course, you get to sit down and eat with your new mentors and friends. Funded by the Hawaii Tourism Authority, the Kohala Style Lu‘au brings visitors and new residents together to connect in an authentic way with the people and culture of the Kohala community.
