Kalaheo Cafe and Coffee Co.  is a favorite restaurant for Kauai locals as well as Kauai visitors.  Of course, if you live on Kauai or visit Kauai regularly, you already know that!     We especially like it because of our relationship with the owners, John and Kris Ferguson. They are hardworking, good people.  Our 25 year old sons have been best friends since kindergarten, so yes, we're a little biased!

I think you'll like this place from the moment you walk in.  My hope is that you'll not only enjoy a delicious meal, but that you'll make some new friends!   Mahalo John and Kris for providing a great place to fill our tummies.  You guys are such a viable asset to the southside community!

Be sure to tell them you read this blog!  Support Kauai businesses!

Koloa Landing Resort, Putting Contest 3/28/12

 
On the far left, Roy took home 1st prize ($25 gift certificate for the Market Place).  David and his son, Jason split second (Arnold Palmer ice tea).  In the final "Closest to the Pin" special, David edged out the competition and claimed the "Hele on to Kauai" Island Favorites CD recorded by Tim Mira.  We didn't have a prize for Staci's "Highest Score"  :) ,  but we're working on it! 

It was another perfect sunny afternoon in Poipu for fun and fellowship.  I can't wait to see who's coming out next week!  And remember, tie or beat my 3 under score and you'll be playing with me as my guest at Kiahuna Golf Course!      Aloha, Tim

The Rotary Club of Poipu Beach in partnership with the County of Kauai and the Poipu Beach Resort Association Presents:
MOVIES IN THE PARK 2009
Located at Poipu Beach Park, this is a Free event: Drug Free, Alcohol Free and the Movie is free too!
Hungry? Food and Beverage Concessions benefit Koloa Elementary School!

August 20th Movie: Wizard of Oz
Prices: FREE


What an awesome event this is. My wife and I truly enjoyed the July movie night at Poipu Beach park....sitting under the stars amongst friends and visitors, probably about 200+ of us. The Koloa School faculty and staff sold snacks and goodies as a fundraising project. Or you can bring your own goodies, along with your beach mat or low seating beach chair. The best part was that this free event allowed families an evening together at little or no cost. I like that!
