Fire it up, at the ho'olaule'a

Think ahead to Father's Day and get over to Kualoa Regional Park Saturday where the Hawaii Craftsmen's Raku Ho'olaule'a runs from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Make a donation, choose a tea bowl or vase, glaze it, then watch craftsmen fire your creation Raku-style. Raku is a low-fire ceramic technique developed in Japan during the 16th century that produces varied colors and effects.

The ho'olaule'a will also feature ceramic demonstrations and other artistic happenings.

Information: 596-8128.

Walk through history

Take a walk through island history in the Historic Fun Run/Walk Saturday beginning at 7:30 a.m. at Kawananakoa Playground.

The route, either a 2- or 5-mile course, runs through Nuuanu-Liliha neighborhoods, past the Royal Mausoleum, the Myohoji Temple, Liliuokalani Gardens, Ma'ema'e Chapel and school, the Walker Estate as well as other historic sites.

There also will be music, lion dances, and prizes. Participants get T-shirts.

The event benefits Ma'ema'e Chapel. Late registration is 6 to 7 a.m. the day of the walk/run: $20 for adults; $15 for children. Information: 545-3080.
