Taste of the Hawaiian Range

IT IS WITH A HEAVY HEART that we remember Dayday Hopkins, who recently passed away. Dayday was a friend to Hawai‘i agriculture and Taste, volunteering on our planning committee for several years. When we moved the gala to Waimea in 2018, Dayday created beautiful floral arrangements to spruce up the room (pictured). She is in our thoughts and we offer our condolences to her family.
