Hoʻolālā ʻia ka hanana pūnaewele o ka Lāpule no ka hoʻoulu ʻana i ka lokahi, hoʻopili i ka noʻonoʻo a hāʻawi i ka ʻike a me ka leʻaleʻa.

"Ua hele mai kēia manaʻo ma ke ʻano he ala e hoʻolaha ai i ka mahanahana o ka nohona i ka wā o ka nohona," wahi a Helena Pastis-Bolduc, ka mea nona ka hale kūʻai puke ʻo Boulder a me ka mea kūʻai makana.“Ua hana mākou i ka hanana kokoleka o ka Lā Māmā a he mea leʻaleʻa a hoʻokipa maikaʻi ʻia a manaʻo mākou e pono i nā makuakāne ke mālama like.I kā mākou hanana mua, hui pū nā ʻohana āpau a ʻono i ka kokoleka.

ʻO nā tiketi i ka hanana Zoom he $10 a loaʻa iā Arete Fiji 70% bar, kahi punahele o Pastis-Bolduc, i kani mua ʻia ma $12.45.Pono nā mea komo e kūʻai i ʻelua mau pahu ʻē aʻe ma ka papa inoa.

"No ka hoʻāʻo ʻana i ka lā o ka Makua, ua koho au i nā kaola aʻu i manaʻoʻiʻo ai e ʻoluʻolu i kahi ʻono kāne hou aʻe," wahi a Pastis-Bolduc.“E like me ka hanana ma mua, no ka lā makuahine, ua koho au i nā kaola i ʻoi aku ka momona a me ka ʻono pua.I kēia manawa, loaʻa iā mākou ka kofe, ka lama, ka ʻeleʻele a me ka ʻoi aku ka ikaika me ka nui o nā mea kokoleka.Manaʻo wau he mea kūʻokoʻa loa ke koho ʻana o ʻewalu mau pahu no kēia hanana, no ka mea maʻamau mākou e lawe i nā ʻano pahu like ʻole ma ka hale kūʻai.
