The Big Island Ukulele Guild’s Merrie Monarch Exhibit
The Big Island Ukulele Guild was invited to participate in an exhibit at the Wailoa Center in downtown Hilo during the 2009 Merrie Monarch festival from April 11 to the 16th. Displayed Along-side our member’s ukuleles were Hawaiian quilts. We had a table set up with ukulele history, building materials, and BIUG information that will be manned by volunteers for the duration of the show.
Despite the Wailoa Center forgetting to mention us in their radio and media announcements, we had a good turn out and were invited back to display again next year during the Merry Monarch Festival. We hope to see you there and if you are a builder and wish to display, contact us for more information.
