MEDIA RELEASE

Hawaii Arts and Crafts presents the Hawaii Island Humane Society (HIHS) Family and Pet Expo 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Friday, Nov. 15 and Saturday, Nov. 16 at the Butler Building in Hilo.

Nearly 100 vendors will be on hand. From products and services to automobiles, games and prizes, the HIHS Farm and Pet Expo has something for everyone.

At the HIHS booth on Friday, Expo goers can pick-up their Krispy Kreme donuts which are available for presale from the Keaau shelter now until Nov. 14.

They can also adopt a shelter pet or snag great HIHS logo items, Christmas ornaments, cards and more, which could all make excellent stocking stuffers.

On Saturday, in addition to HIHS goodies for sale, a Hawaii Island Humane Society silent auction will feature original art, jewelry, apparel, vintage music books, and more. The silent auction will run 9 a.m.-2 p.m.

As part of the Family & Pet Expo, there will be live entertainment throughout both days from mid-morning through late afternoon.

The Prosecutor’s Office will be on hand both days to issue keiki ID’s. On Saturday in addition to the musical lineup, Hawaii Balloon and Photo will present balloon sculpturing and Shear Magic Pet Salon will have a booth offering pet nail painting, picture taking with your pet and more.

No event in Hawaii would be complete with delicious food and the HIHS Family & Pet Expo is no exception. Food booths include Hawaiian plate lunches, Thai food, BBQ Pork Teriyaki, Lau lau, Big Island Top Dog, burgers, freshly hand-cut French fries, wings, Chow Fun, Fried Saimin, Maui Waffle Dog, Shave Ice, and Cotton Candy.
