The public is cordially invited to the Hilo Orchid Show Gala Preview Party on Thursday, July 28. Held from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. at the Edith Kanaka'ole Stadium, this "fun"-raiser kicks off the 68th Orchid Show and Sale in Hilo... and raises funds for peace and agriculture. All ticket proceeds benefit the non-profit Ku'ikahi Mediation Center and the cause of "Finding Solutions, Growing Peace." All silent auction proceeds benefit Hilo Orchid Society’s agriculture student scholarship fund. The evening gala is a truly a ‘fun’-raiser. People drink, eat, socialize, and get a sneak preview of the lush displays and the first chance to buy orchids. The Preview Party features live music, delectable catered food, and a selection of hard and soft beverages. Service includes fine wines, beer on tap, gourmet juices, and local coffee. Tickets for the July 28 Orchid Preview Party are available in advance at The Most Irresistible Shop, Day-Lum Properties, and Ku‘ikahi Mediation Center.
