Hispanic Heritage Festival

Andrea and I joined Rainbow Bonsai Club members at the Hispanic Heritage Festival on Nuuanu Avenue in Chinatown on Saturday, October 5.


This is the bougainvillea bonsai I brought to show at the festival. Photo by Andrea.


The Festival occupied two blocks of Nuuanu Avenue between King Street and Pauahi Street. We were down at the makai end with the low riders.
This is a 1979 Lincoln.


All set up and ready to go before 10:00 AM.
