Our 2016 Ka'u Coffee Festival began yesterday, May 13, with the annual event Pa'ina & Open House at Pahala Plantation House, in Pahala, Hawai'i. Entertainment included music by Bolo & Friends as well as Puerto Rican music by El Leo, with Ka'u’s Hawai'i State Senator Russell Ruderman on guitar. Attendees met some of the young ladies who will participate this evening to be named Miss Ka'u Coffee, Junior Miss Ka'u Coffee and Miss Peaberry. Local farmers provided fresh foods cooked by chefs from around the state for a feast that filled the dining room table.
Hawai'i Farmers Union United and Ka'u Chamber of Commerce co-sponsored the event with Pahala Plantation Cottages.
