Bumper cars, cotton candy, ‘poi balls’
Rides, games, entertain-
ment, food and wholesome
family fun are just around
the corner.
The Hilo Jaycees 65th
annual Hawaii County
Fair is Thursday through
Sunday, Sept. 10-13, on
the grounds of the Afook-
Chinen Civic Center inHilo.
“Basically, this project
funds all the other projects
that we do throughout the
year — the Easter egg hunt,
our scholarship program,
basically our whole admin-
istration runs off the fair,”
said Kelton Chang, one of
the Jaycees’ fair organizers.
“We also run this fair for
over three dozen different
organizations in the com-
munity who need our help
to fund their year.”
This year, the fair is a bit
earlier than usual, Chang
said.
“We had to move it up a
week,” Chang said. “When
E.K. Fernandez set up their
barge routes (to ship rides
and games interisland)
this year, that’s what was
available.”
Donna Smith, execu-
tive vice president of E.K.
Fernandez shows, said
bumper-car aficionados will
notice an upgrade this year.
“We have brand-new
bumper cars, and they’re
beautiful,” she said. “We just
brought them in from Italy.
… We had them in Kona,
and they’ll be brand new for
the people in Hilo.”
Smith also noted an
upgrade to LED lighting
where fluorescent or incan-
descent lights were the ear-
lier standards.
“We have a lot of LED
lights on the midway, on
our games, even on some of
our food wagons. It makes it
so much brighter,” she said.
“It just makes everything
bright and beautiful. At
night, people love the lights.
It just gives everything a
little more excitement. Plus,
I think it saves money.”
“All of the classic rides,
the Zipper and the Ferris
wheel, they’re all redone,
so they look really nice
this year,” Chang added.
“They’re spectacular.”
Admission each day is $6
for adults, $2.50 for chil-
dren and seniors 60 and
older are admitted free.
Saturday is wristband day,
with a 10-ride wristband
selling for $30 between 10
a.m.-2:30 p.m. and wrist-
band ride tabs good until
6 p.m. Sunday is half-price
admission at the gate, and
between 10-11 a.m. the Hilo
Jaycees Food Drive allows
fairgoers free entry with
three cans of food for an
adult and two cans for a
child. Expired cans will not
be accepted.
A plant, fruit and vege-
table sale is from 5-9 p.m.
Friday and a craft fair is
from 5-9 p.m. Saturday
at the Waiakea Butler
Building.
Keiki Day is from 10
a.m.-2 p.m. Sunday with
Keiki IDs, car seat demon-
strations and preschool
information. During the
same hours Saturday, it’s
Kupuna Day, a first for the
fair, Chang noted.
“It’s a program that was
developed in cooperation
with the county’s Elderly
Activities Division,” he
said. “It’s to help the kupu-
na understand the activi-
ties and the programs that
the county provides for
the elderly, informational
booths on health and being
an elderly person living
independently.”
The main attraction in
the entertainment tent is
Da Braddahs, the comedy
duo of James Roche and
Tony Silva, the stars of “Da
Braddahs & Friends” on
OC-16 television. Music
is also on the bill, with
notables including Sean
Na‘auao, Mana‘o Company,
Darlene Ahuna, Bruddah
Waltah
Aipolani
and
Sudden Rush.
Another first is the Sweet
Thunder Hot Poke Contest
at 6:30 p.m. Thursday.
“It’s a poke that’s very,
very hot. They use ghost
peppers and everything,”
Chang said. “They have
it every month at Sweet
Thunder, and I actually
won that thing. There’s only
about three or four people
who’ve actually finished it.”
And, of course, there’s
the food. Fair fare includes
funnel cakes, cotton candy,
popcorn, corn dogs, pret-
zels, lemonade — and for
those unafraid of cardiac
arrest, deep-fried Oreos
and Twinkies. Since this is
Hawaii, there are also local
favorites such as Hawaiian
food, Thai food, loco moco,
Braddah Pops and a first,
Stacy’s Poi Balls.
The fair is a rain-or-shine
event, although with the
number of tropical cyclones
this hurricane season, the
Jaycees will be monitoring
the weather with an eye
toward keeping everybody
safe.
“Hopefully the storms
will stay on their (project-
ed) path so we don’t have to
have a last-minute cancella-
tion,” Chang said.
