ALOHA KONA! IF THIS IS THE BIG ISLAND AND IT IS JULY 4TH I must be in Kamuela at Parker Ranch Rodeo! If you have not yet discovered Rodeo in Hawaii, you are in for a great treat. This year’s festivities began with a bit of history. Chris Kanazawa, CEO made a tribute to John Palmer Parker. Did you know he began with only two acres of land 160 years ago?

UNIQULY HAWAIIAN EVENTS LIKE POO WAI U are structured around the Paniolo experience on The Big Island. This year for the first time a mainland entry, Warren Ranch from Wyoming, joined the local cowboys. For the second year in a row, Nahea Brenneman rode her beautiful Paint, Raelyn, to win the 1/8 Mile Horse Race. This year West Hawaii Concrete team was the fastest to dress a calf.

BEAUTIFUL MOUNTAIN VISTAS were clouded over during most of the event. The fine mist we encountered on the way to the ranch was welcome after the fires near Waimea earlier in the week. As always we found good food, fun and the Spirit of Aloho at Parker Ranch. We will be back in the fall when the Rodeo benefits a scholarship program for the children of Parker Ranch. I am looking forward to Calf Sorting and hope to see you there too. Contact me if you need dates, times or directions.
