The Nuuanu Brews, Blues and BBQ street festival was held yesterday evening along Nuuanu Avenue. The event featured the Great Honolulu Rib Cook-off, blues music, jugglers and clowns. Mardene Baker, the "Performer Extraordinaire!" juggled fire. She said she's been performing for 21 years, but the $100 bill that wound up in her collection hat was her first in Honolulu, she said.
