First off, a great big mahalo to the Kamehameha Canoe Club for another great event. 25 years of business canoe races?? Where do the years go? Their organization and expertise made this event run smoothly.
Mahalo for the huge turnout for this year's Business Regatta. A record 133 teams hit the water on Sunday April 13th for the biggest turnout ever. Thanks to you and your business if you were a part of it! If not, maybe we'll see you next year. Can't forget to thank our many sponsors including co-sponsor Bud Light and the many who helped make the event a success!
