It was a busy Mother’s Day weekend on Molokai with events happening across the island. In Ho’olehua, at the Lanikeha Center, almost 2,000 residents passed by to check out the happenings at the annual Molokai Resource Fair.

The fair tries to “go the extra mile,” explained Rosie Davis from the Molokai Homestead Farmers Alliance, who organizes the event. The fair’s information booths ranged from agriculture to emergency services to job training. Along with a free petting zoo and greased pig contest, the fair had music, food, games and more. Participants competed for grand prizes like tickets on Hawaiian Airlines and gift cards to Hiro’s ‘Ohana Grill while browsing craft booths or getting their nails done courtesy of Nail Bar Molokai.

“We got everything,” said Davis.
