This is a great deal. We have such great memories of this event. Wendy and I were cruising the various beach bars along the shore, and decided to go to Roys for lunch. We found this Uke Festival going full blast. We met so many ono people. And, last but not least, I won a G String Tenor Uke, presented by Roy Sakuma and Danny, the Ambassador of Aloha. Been playing ever since. It was a little tough getting out of the parking lot cause so many wahines had their heart set on getting the uke. Wish we could be there.
