Christmas in the Garden is December 6
Popular Southshore Craft Fair at Visitors Center
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Po'ipū, Kaua‘i (November 17, 2009) – It's almost time to usher in the holiday season and Christmas in the Garden is the way to do it. The 6th annual holiday craft fair by the National Tropical Botanical Garden will be held on Sunday, December 6 from 9:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. in the Meadow and amidst the colorful plantings of the Southshore Visitors Center across from Spouting Horn (4425 Lāwa'i Road, Po'ipū).
This increasingly popular fair features crafters from around the state with wares perfect for gift giving. There is an abundance of offerings this year, including koa hats, Tahitian 'ukulele, native hardwood drums, fused glass, gourmet sauces, quilts, ceramics, works from the Big Island’s Volcano Garden Arts, and items by Oshibana, the Garden's volunteer craft group.
Plant lovers can shop for native Hawaiian plants, holiday-inspired poinsettias, decorated miniature Norfolk pines, and beautiful fresh-cut flowers.
Lively entertainment will happen throughout the day by a variety of performers, including Paul Togioka, the Tsunami Taiko Drummers, Tony Wichman, and Anela Lauren. There will be a keiki station, ono grinds from Monster Tacos, Savage Shrimp, and shave ice, and a produce and baked goods sale, with complimentary coffee from Kaua'i Roastery from 9:30-10:30.
When shoppers are ready for a break from all the shopping, food, and fun, complimentary massages will be available. All attendees are asked to bring a donation of a canned food item to help those less fortunate.
For more information about Christmas in the Garden, call (808) 742-2433 or visit the Southshore Visitors Center, open daily 8:30 a.m.- 5 p.m.
