Hawaiian Crafts, Farm Fair Prove Good Games Additions

A farm fair and traditional and eontemporary Hawaiian crafts became a part of the 1984 Ka Makahiki Na Paani Hawaii celebration for the first time Aug. 4 at Ala Moana Beach Park's McCoy Pavilion. The two new attractions, however, got off on a small but mueh appreciated scale. The participating groups put on attractive displays whieh drew praise from the many people who took the time to view them. Queen Liliuokalani Children's Center of Punaluu was the only participant in the farm fair and it put on a beautiful display while also having some of its farm products for sale. The Waianae Culture and Arts Cen-

ter, headed by Director Agnes Cope who also is Oahu director of Aha Puhala ine., had an impressive display of traditional Hawaiian crafts. Among the displays were lauhala products, musical implements, stuffed Hawaiian birds, feathers, kapa and an exhibition of poi pounding by Gregory Kalahikiola Naliielua, more familiarly known as Papa Kala. The Waimanalo Senior Citizens had an interesting display of miniature Hawaiian implements and jewelry. All the exhibitors were awarded Makahiki medallions for their participation and exhibits. It is hoped that next year's list of participants will be bigger.
