Punahou Carnival 2024

Once again, we met for two nights in the Punahou cafeteria to make "haku" (lei po'o) for the annual Punahou carnival.  I want to thank all of my volunteers who were able to show up on one or both nights: Cory, Chris, Dayna, Dale, Sarah and Amanda.

 

First night shot of all the workers in the cafeteria.

When there's not enough time at the end of the night to make a full "haku," we make small headbands instead.
