Kauai Museum Hosts Glenn Medeiros Book Signing at Craft Fair

On December 5, 2025, the **Kauai Museum** and the **Kauai Historical Society** organized a successful book signing event featuring **Glenn Medeiros**, a notable alumnus of Kauai High School. The event took place during the Kauai Museum Christmas craft fair, attracting fans and collectors alike. Notably, attendees included local residents **Art** and **Michiru Umezu**, who showcased their extensive collection of Medeiros memorabilia.

The book signing formed part of a vibrant holiday celebration at the museum, where visitors enjoyed various activities and crafts. **Maryanne Kusaka**, a trustee of the Kauai Museum and former mayor, along with **Gini Kapali**, who previously led the Kauai Transportation Department, were seen coordinating lunch options nearby at the **Joe Grace lunchwagon**. Both have deep roots in the community, having helped plan the inaugural **Lights on Rice** holiday lights parade.

Local vendors displayed their creativity at the craft fair, which was bustling with activity. The **Rematas of Aloha Edibles** balanced their commitments between the **Mele Makeke**, a seasonal market benefiting **Kauai Hospice**, and the ongoing craft fair at the **Kauai Veterans Center**. The community also rallied around the **Toys for Tots** campaign, with only one weekend remaining for toy donations this year.

In a busy weekend for Kauai, **Coach Kevin** was preoccupied with the **Kauai High School Holiday Invitational Basketball Tournament**, but still made time to support local events. The Hilton Garden Inn hosted an indoor event on December 6, which added to the weekend’s festive atmosphere.

The **Grove Farm Museum** welcomed **Kaipu**, a local performer who delighted thousands of attendees along **Rice Street**, stretching from the entrance of **Vidinha Stadium** to the Kauai Museum. This event marked a significant gathering for the community, showcasing local talent and fostering a sense of togetherness.

Looking ahead, **Sugar Skull**, a local organization, has already begun planning for the **2026 parade**, with exciting visions that promise to enhance the festive spirit in **Lihue**. The momentum from this year’s events indicates a strong community commitment to celebrating the holidays together.
