My Merrie Monarch Highlight! #1

Enjoy this special performance @ Sig Zane Designs Hilo Store!

Merrie Monarch Week is Here!!!

Aloha Kakou!
Yes, the Merrie Monarch Festival Week is here!
And it's the most exciting time in Hilo for sure, one that everyone looks forward to.
Mahalo to ALL that make the way to Hilo, and to Sig Zane Designs store in Downtown.
Here, I was lucky to be able to take this photo of Kumu Hula Keali'i Ceballos and his Halau Keali'i O Nalani guys. Mahalo for sharing your smiles!
Please check the front page of the Sig Zane Designs' website, as there will be a camera roll from 5 "photographers" who will be updating as we go through the day!

いよいよメリー･モナーク･フェスティバル大会を迎えたハワイ島ヒロからアローハ！
一年でヒロが一番賑わう時です。できる限り写真で様子をお伝えしますね！あと、シグ･ゼーンのホームページに行くと、5人の目を通したメリモの様子がキャッチできますので（私の写真も含め）見てくださいね～！今日は早速クム･フラ、ケアリイ･セバロス氏とハラウ･ケアリイ･オ･ナラニのメンバーが遊びにきてくださいました！とってもステキなクムでした～♪
And here are the ladies from Halau Ka Ua Kani Lehua of Kumu Hula Uncle Johnny Lum Ho's halau. Looking very nani in Sig Zane Designs' Waipunalei Dress with the Maile print.
They performed at the Ho'olaulea on Sunday at the Afook-Chinen Civic Auditorium.
And the week has just started!
So, a big ALOHA to all of you out there, and a Happy Merrie Monarch Week!

Love and Peace,
Reiko


さて、メリー･モナーク大会の到来を告げるイベント、「ホオラウレア」が先週の日曜日に、アフック･チネン･シヴィック･オーディトリアムにて開催されました！
写真はクム･フラ、アンクル･ジョニー･ラム･ホーの、ハラウ・カ･ウア・カニ･レフアの皆様。シグ･ゼーンのワイプナレイ･ドレスです。マイレのプリントがとっても綺麗に舞っていました～♪
其れでは、ハッピー･メリー･モナーク週！

たくさんのアロハを込めて、

玲子
