The program will include expert guest speakers, a trade show for outdoor and birding equipment, a children's corner, bird-themed arts and crafts fair, photography workshop, a birding film festival, time to interact with Hawaii Island naturalists and bird experts, and guided field trips on land and sea.

The delicious adventures experienced by Charlie Bucket on his visit to Willy Wonka's mysterious chocolate factory light up the stage in this captivating adaptation of Roald Dahl's fantastical tale.
Featuring the enchanting songs from the 1971 film starring Gene Wilder and new songs by Leslie Bricusse ( Jekyll & Hyde, Doctor Dolittle) and Anthony Newley,  Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka is a scrumdidilyumptious musical guaranteed to delight everyone's sweet tooth.
Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka follows enigmatic candy manufacturer, Willy Wonka, as he stages a contest by hiding golden tickets in five of his scrumptious candy bars. Whomever comes up with these tickets will win a free tour of the Wonka factory, as well as a lifetime supply of candy. Four of the five winning children are insufferable brats: the fifth is a likeable young lad named Charlie Bucket, who takes the tour in the company of his equally amiable grandfather.

In 1969, Howard Taylor, brother of actress Elizabeth, bails out a rag-tag band of young Mainlanders jailed for vagrancy and invites them to live on his oceanfront land. Soon, waves of hippies, surfers, and troubled Vietnam vets find their way to this clothing optional, pot-friendly, tree house village at the end of the road on Kauai's North Shore - the ultimate hippie fantasy, order without rules, perched in a pristine forest alongside a tropical Hawaiian beach paradise; until the locals decide it's time for them to go.
This intimate documentary explores what life was like on the Taylor camp. The film has been recut with insightful interviews with the residents, archival portraits, and has been newly remastered in beautiful HD.
