“Keiki Halloween at The Shops has become a much-anticipated family event,” said Diana Whitt, General Manager and Vice President Property Manager of The Shops at Wailea. “It’s such a joy to see keiki, their ohana and even the pets join in the fun! We look forward to seeing all the costumes and celebrating the grand prize winner with two round-trip flights courtesy of our partnership with Alaska Airlines.”
