The Hawaii Island Economic Development Board and the Big Island Visitors Bureau held an exclusive reception at the Elk’s Club last night to share a bit of their island’s offerings with hundreds of media, dignitaries, and community leaders — especially those that might be in town for APEC. Mayor Billy Kenoi led the charge to give people a taste, literally and figuratively, of the Big Island.

Attendees were treated to unique dishes from the Four Seasons, Hualalai Resort, and Sansei, as well as entertainment by Na Palapalai and Mark Yamanaka.

Annoddah_Dave No, the Big Island food shown was prepared by the chefs they brought over (they were also in the photos).
