Stuffs
[ DA KINE ]
What's underfoot?
Slippahs will star at the Na Mea Hawaii Store from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, but not just any old rubbah kine. Nope. The store at 851 Fort Street Mall will instead be filled with both functional and whimsical slipper creations by Babs Miyano, Nake'u Awai, Betty Mu'u, Kahili Slippers, Toyo Hawaii, "the Lauhala Lady" Linda Schweitzer, Nai'a Watson and other local artists.
COURTESY NA MEA HAWAII
Artists pay tribute to Hawaii's favorite footwear during Slippah Saturday.
The day will bring together a truly original collection of Hawaii's favorite footwear that will remain on display through the month of August.
There will be chalk art and balloon magic for the kids, a raffle for the adults -- the prizes being a pair of "out on the town" slippers, and specially created Na Mea Goodie Bags. Plus everyone who comes wearing their own custom created slippers will be entered into a special drawing for family tickets to "On Dragonfly Wings."
Admission is free. For more information, call 398-6848
