The Summer Solstice Celebration takes place June 21 at the Malama Kaua‘i Sustainability Center in Kilauea.

That was the message extended by Katherine Fisher, co-founder of the Hawai‘i Health Guide, when she accepted a grant from the Young Brothers Community Advisory Board, Thursday.

“Through an arrangement with the Kaua‘i Bus, people going to the solstice event, June 21, can ride The Kaua‘i Bus and not have to worry about driving or parking at the event,” Fisher said.

The grant provided by the YB CAB allows the Hawai‘i Health Guide to expand on its multi-cultural medicinal education program which has been available at all of its previous events.

“You’d be amazed to see how far a little money can go,” Fisher said to Wanda Shibata and Millie Wellington of the YB CAB who made the presentation at the YB Nawiliwili Port offices.

During the upcoming celebration, Fisher said there will be health fair booths, presentations by various representatives from booth vendors, cultural experts, healthy food, cooking demonstrations and other family-oriented events, including a lei contest.
