Hawaiian cultural in the Napa Valley…read more ALOHA! This was our first year attending the Aloha Festival in Napa Valley. Actually, I just happened to see a friend's Yelp check-in from my feed [thanks, Gerald!] and we decided to stop by. We didn't know about this annual event. This year the cultural festival celebrated their 10th year. The event was held this past weekend, (Sat and Sun) Sept 16-17 from 10a-6p and is near downtown Napa and the courthouse. Parking and admission are free. Walked inside the building and immediately you will see lots of souvenir vendors selling anything from Hawaiian sterling silver jewelry (love the plumeria flower anklets) to aloha shirts and novelty tees to fun Hawaiian home decors and wares (see my photo about the "slippahs"). It was fun walking around. Reminded me of a tiny version of the outdoor swap meet in Hawaii at the Aloha Stadium. I lived in Hawaii for 3 years and I miss the Aloha spirit. Outside are all kinds of food vendors offering treats from hot malasadas to shave ice to BBQ plate lunches to fresh Maui pineapples... and more merchandise vendors offering coolio Hawaiian arts and crafts. On stage were Hawaiian performers and musicians from Hawaiian and Polynesian communities that entertained the crowd in the grass area and under a huge shaded covered tent. There were bleachers and some picnic tables in the premises. Definitely a family friendly event. The food was a bit pricey for us: $6 for shave ice, $13 for a garlic shrimp lunch plate (regular or spicy), 4-pcs of hot malasadas for $6 (regular or cream filled), $1 for a slice of Maui pineapple just to name a few. Saw some interactive cultural presentations as well and they were making leis. The annual Napa Valley Aloha Festival is held on the third weekend in September at the Napa Valley Expo on 3rd Street. You can bring folding lawn chairs and/or blankets/mats to watch the live entertainment on the grass area but the following are NOT allowed: pets (except for service animals), alcohol, drugs and No Bad Attitudes!

My Aloha Spirit has become stronger this year since my father passed a few months back. Anything…read moreand everything of Hawaii reminds me of him because the Aloha Spirit is so warm, kind, loving, and all that reminds me of my childhood in Hawaii as well as him. 2015 was a hot year with temperatures reaching above 95. Fortunately the concert area had a large sunscreen above the stage and seating area and the DJ constantly reminded all the visitors to stay hydrated. You're more than welcome to bring in your own cooler (bottled water was $2 so I do suggest bringing your own water bottles), lawn chairs, and blankets but no pets or alcohol were allowed. They had a handful of food vendors. From malasadas, shaved ice, hot dogs, pork lau lau, to sushi. We ordered four malasadas that tasted pretty average, shaved ice (li hing/haupia with ice cream and a dash of li hing mui) that was alright, a plate of pork lau lau with lomi lomi salmon, rice, and mac salad. The pork lau lau tasted pretty good and so did the lomi lomi salmon. I did not eat the rice or the mac salad. The sales vendors had to of been around 25 or so. From dresses and sarongs for keiki's, woman's (and of course men's) regular size to plus size, jewelers, people that make fabric lei's, hyn clothing brand(s), fake flowers, pictures, and small trinkets. Some vendors took card but it's a good idea to bring cash. EASILY I could of stayed the whole day. We laid a blanket down and enjoyed the beautiful music, the different types of halaus, and the seeing the keikis play around us. It was great to speak pigeon and have others understand what I'm saying. Overall, it was fun. Great family atmosphere, music, dancing, and food.

After my 3 year old daughter expressed interest in ballet, I instantly searched through…read moreyellowpages.com to see what dance studios were in my area that would accommodate my novice ballerina. Just gotta dance popped up first in my search so naturally I called and inquired about coming in to shadow a class. The lady on the phone seemed charming and offered a FREE first time class for all new students. Free? Couldn't turn that down. The location was in an abandoned looking shopping mall in Suisun. Parking was limited and the neighborhood was a little sketchy. The dance studio itself was dark and run down. Nothing impressive but again, I kept a sense of hope in the back of my mind for the sake of my little one. I didn't want her to sense my apprehension. Come class time the dance instructor was not what you imagine a ballet instructor would look like. I'm not going to further comment on her size but all I have to say is that I expected more. The class size was small and manageable. It seemed like all of the other students had been there for awhile and had made friends with all of the other little girls. So why just 1 star? Well first off the class itself was not well structured. The little girls all ranged from 3-6 years old but the instructor was speaking to them like 18 year olds that just signed their life away to the US Marine Corp. My daughter participated in a few of the activities but I could tell she was nervous. I had to sit with her on the mat a few times while doing some exercises which I thought would help her feel more comfortable. At the end of the class session the instructor rewarded all of the ballerinas with stickers. When it came to my daughter she said, "Now I'll give you a sticker just this one time but next time you are going to need to do all of the activities by yourself without anyones help. If you do require help then I wont give you a sticker" WTF?.. shes a kid for christ sake. I want her to feel comfortable asking for help! I'm sure my daughter didn't understand and was just thrilled to have a sticker. I on the other hand was livid and stormed out. I didn't need her damn stickers to validate my daughter's hard work. After class was over I took my daughter to Target and let her pick out a whole book of stickers. Hmph... that'll show that BIG mean drill sergeant instructor :P

Close parking can be tricky since it's located on the small wing of the Marina Shopping Center. So when you plan on visiting for an event don't be surprised if you need to take a double turn around for a spot. There are two entrances, the main entrance into the bar and second entrance into the banquette hall. The bathrooms are only located in the back of the bar so if you have little kids, make sure they choose the best of two options in that area, either the karaoke singer or the bar fly. Senior citizens are the majority of this "Fraternal Order" although a few of the older gentlemen have tried to invite me into their sister league (lol, I thought that was sweet! However I politely declined with the upmost respect). They were all friendly and was very sociable about their past histories and easily opened up about their life stories. The bar is cash only and the prices are relatively cheap. All the workers here are friendly and are more concerned about you having a good time (especially making sure you sign up for the karaoke list!). The place is defiantly aged but I think that's what keeps this small crowd together. I kept hearing the regulars talking about building that place from the bottom up - they definitely take pride in their contribution towards this allegiance. By the way, their karaoke song book has a ton of oldie songs. Most of the songs are twenty years my senior.

The group mostly consists of a senior crowd that gets together on a regular business, always trying to raise money to help out the community. The people there are very friendly and they get to know your name pretty fast. I go there every once in a while to have a charity breakfast/dinner with my dad. All the people that work there are volunteers and I appreciate very much all the work they put into their job. They have a bar, which is where most of the people hang out and sing karaoke. There is also a separate room where they handle their club business/eating area, and bingo on some nights. If you are looking to rent the large room it will only cost you about $250. This place is a pretty good place for the older crowd to make friends,something to do, and help raise money for the community. I only wish they had a better source of income so that they may get an upgrade to the interior.
