Alakai Paleka and Ke Anu Brown emcee the 11th annual Meadow Gold Dairies Maui Healthy Baby Contest—partnering with Hui No Ke Olo Pono for the 2nd annual Children’s Health Fair—where the 2009 Maui Healthy Baby winner and 4 runners-up will be selected (winning, in addition to sandbox bragging-rights, valuable prizes). The event will also feature 20 non-profits who will convene “to provide educational information for families on health and safety with interactive activities and games.” Take part in at least 10 booths (getting a stamp at each) and enter a drawing to win an overnight stay at the Aston Resort, Ka’anapali Shores, a one-year supply of Meadow Gold Dairies milk, POG, ice cream and lots more. While the potential for prizes is always fun, they’re making the participation part even more fun. Keiki get to make their own playdough, get “veggie tattoos,” turn a Meadow Gold half-pint container in a pencil holders and planters with marigold seeds and soil, do coloring crafts and veggie stencil art, learn Halloween safety tips and complete a sticker project, among other cool keiki stuff. Families can have their car seats inspected, get dental information and healthy recipes, plus enjoy tons of healthy snacks and smoothies. 870-8047, e-mail yukilei@hawaii.rr.com.
