It’s like a really nice bonus for paying attention. “I mean, what else can you ask for?” Wynd said. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., dinner is served at 7 and the show starts at 8:15. Proceeds will go toward putting on a summer musical, ”Nobody’s Boy.” Wynd and co-creative director Melissa Mojo formed Tropicbird Entertain-
ment, a nonprofit dedicated to creating exceptional entertainment that is educational and engaging to people of all ages. “It’s a combination murder mystery, ghost story and historical drama,” Wynd said. She added that the Kauai Historical Society is helping the production create a photo exhibit of Victorian Kauai plantation life in the late 1800s outside the entrance of the show as a sort of mini-museum before guests take their seats.
“It’s basically a work of historical imagination,” Wynd said of the play. “It’ll be fun, it’ll be something unique for Kauai. That’s one of the reasons we decided to do it, people weren’t doing murder mysteries, but they’re popular on the Mainland.” General tickets cost $75 ($78.62 with service fee), kamaaina are $65 ($68.27) and a table of 10 costs $650 ($673.74) Info: 212-7731 or www. tropicbirdentertainment. com

Jonathan of Nectar Gardens says his farm primarily sells kale and organic fruits and vegetables.
Javellana, like Mauger, has been selling his fruits and vegetables for almost two decades. In fact, he’s been selling produce since the Sunshine Market system was established in 1987. a “Kapaa was one of the first ones and Lihue Vidinha Stadium was the second one,” he said. “To find an alternative market to continue farming, other than losing the papaya industry altogether and we can’t export,
this became a lifesaver for the farmers so we started to sell.” Debi W. of Kapaa, a local Sunshine Market consumer for 27 years, buys flowers every week. “These are important. These are essential,” she said. “ I support them and they support me.” In her goody bag, Debi had lettuce, cucumbers, basil peppers, baby bok choy, papayas and bananas.
Jonathan of Nectar Farms, who did not give his last name, said money spent at the Sunshine Market stays on island. “It’s good access: local support, the money is stronger when it’s spent in the community,” he said. “The farm I work on, the farm is very frugal and he does most of his shopping here on the island. When people shop from him, then he shops directly back with the local businesses.” The Sunshine Market in New Town Park on Kahau Street opens at 3 p.m. every Wednesday. If you’re a local farmer or gardener interested in selling your produce at the Sunshine Market, you may contact the Office of Economic Development at 2414946 for more information.

Under the canopy of “E hele mai a e pili pu kakou, or “Come and join us,” the Kauai County Farm Bureau Fair offered people the opportunity to support and showcase both agriculture
and the community through the wide variety of activities and competitions.
