Rodeo stars offer dates

How does a date with a cowboy sound? Or a cowgirl?

Up for bid at a benefit event Sunday will be dates with several of Hawaii's up-and-coming rodeo stars.

The riders are on their way to New Zealand's Big Methven Rodeo next month -- but it's a costly proposition, thus the need for a fundraising event.

Also up on the block will be special donated saddles.

But it's not all about the bidding. A concert will be held featuring the Hawaiian sounds of Malani Bilyeu of Kalapana, Guy Cruz and David Kawika Jamieson. Dinner will be served.

The event takes place from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Naturally Hawaiian art gallery next to the Waimanalo Polo Field. Cost is $30.
