  • The music of Nevah Too Late brought out the dancers in the crowd at the 51st Maui County Senior Fair on Saturday at The Maui Mall Village.
  • Kupuna had their blood pressure checked at the Kaiser Permanente table.
  • Keoni Hot Lava Studio Alton De Gama and Friends got the kupuna off their feet.
  • Maui County Senior Fair attendees stop by the Maui Nui Broadband table.
  • The Wailuku Hongwanji Buddhist Women’s Association sold lei.

Kupuna took their blood pressure, danced near the stage to music of their times, and learned about services available to them from private and public organizations Saturday at the 51st Maui County Senior Fair.

Kupuna, family and friends filled The Maui Mall Village to listen to music of Nevah Too Late and the beat of Maui Taiko, got some exercise with Enhance Fitness and Keoni’s Hot Lava Fitness and enjoyed the young dancers of Hālau Nā Lei ʻAʻala O Kuʻu Aloha.

There were speeches by Mayor Richard Bissen, Human Concerns Director Lori Tsuhako, Maui County Executive on Aging Rowena Dagdag-Andaya and Maui Economic Opportunity Chief Executive Officer Debbie Cabebe. Ed Kanoi was the emcee.

The event was organized by the Maui County Office on Aging with the support of MEO.
