I completely forgot about the farm fair. We stopped going when they moved it from McKinley (how long ago is that!) to the Aloha Stadium. We attempted what a big mistake and headache that was to attend when it was first held at Bishop Museum. I may think of moseying up the road to it this year. I always enjoyed it. Kualoa is a great place for it and you could swing by Hee'ia
Pier Deli for lunch!

got you beat, I've lived here since 1976 and still haven't managed to get to the farm fair. but i agree kualoa seems like a much better place for it than the parking lot of aloha stadium. I had forgotten about Bishop Museum holding it.

I attended the first one they had in the Ward area some years ago, but that was before the construction across from Ward Center began...that was where it was held, where the street now cuts thru to Queen.. It was enjoyable, and the only memory that stands out was the garlic ice cream which was delicious. Can't remember seeing word of it in recent years, but if it is anything like the one I recall, it should be worthwhile.
