On Saturday, November 5, 2011, we will be hosting our 9th Annual Business & Food Expo at the beautiful Lanikeha Center on our island of Molokai.  Pu Ke Pono Maika’i (Sharing the Goodness) is an exciting venue that brings much needed economic stimuli to our island and attracts both island residents and visitors alike.  Last year we hosted over 1200 people.

Throughout the day we feature popular Maui County chefs tasked with creating unique culinary delights using Molokai products.  They’re prepared in front of excited onlookers and offered for sale. We also feature headline entertainment as well showcase our very own local talents.  What a treat for all!

Most importantly, this green event features businesses and food service providers who directly or indirectly contribute to the overall economic sustainability of Molokai. By offering vital exposure and partnership opportunities to all businesses (from farmers, home businesses, financial institutions, food service establishments, to youth entrepreneurs from our Molokai High School business class) – businesses are able to present value added products and increase their sales.

With endless opportunities for our businesses, this event truly helps strengthen our economy.

We hope to see you for this years exciting event. For more information, click HERE to send us an email and we’ll contact you as soon as possible.
