Our newly crowned 2017 Miss Ka'u Coffee Court began making public appearances on May 19, 2017, with the kick off party for the ninth annual Ka'u Coffee Festival at Pahala Plantation House.
The event was attended by coffee farmers, local families and visitors from places around the world including China, Canada, Russia and famous coffee growing regions, Colombia, Puerto Rico, India and Papua New Guinea. Puerto Rico and Hawai'i are the only two coffee growing regions in the U.S.
Entertaining was the Puerto Rican band El Leo, which includes state Senator Russell Ruderman whose territory includes most of the coffee farms in Ka'u. Also performing was Da Backyahd Braddahs with Ti Chun, Makana Kamahele and Sheldon Salmo.
Miss Ka'u Coffee 2017 and her court will appear at numerous events throughout the week and the coming year, including parades and visits to schools, farms and community gatherings.
