Happy Thursday! It’s a holiday here in Hawaii- Kamehameha Day – “established by royal decree on December 22, 1871 by King Kamehameha V as a national holiday. Kamehameha Day was created to honor the memory of Kamehameha, the king’s great grandfather, who united the Hawaiian Islands in 1810 and became Hawai‘i’s first king. The first celebration occurred on June 11, 1872, during this early period celebrations occurred on each island and were grand and festive consisting of carnivals, fairs, and foot, horse, velocipede (bike), and canoe races.” (From the website www.kamehamehafestival.org) A lot of businesses are closed in observation of this holiday but it’s business as usual for Phil & Angela Benoit and here is where you’ll find us this week:
