The first annual Spam Jam was a blast! The Maui Thing Keiki Zone drew a bunch of kids that had fun doing arts and crafts and playing Spam Pong! They planted veggies in Spam cans, a great way to recycle and start a garden at home. They colored surfing Spammy, and got to paint a huge banner!

This special event originally started in Waikiki almost 8 years ago has finally made it to Maui. On Saturday the 24^th, Maui enjoyed an entire day dedicated to the Hawaiian delicacy: Spam.

There was the Spam Challenge, a cooking competition of great, innovative Spam dishes. Entertainment also included local comedy and musical performances by Kolohe Kai and award-winning Na Palapalai.

Hosted by KPOA’s Morning Goddess, Alaka‘i Paleka, the first annual Spam Jam at the Maui Tropical Plantaion was a success! Thanks to everyone who brought the keiki to the Keiki Zone! We all had a blast, see you next year!
