Ukulele Picnic is a Success!

Aloha Tofu participated in the 3rd Annual Ukulele Picnic on Sunday, February 13, 2011 at Kaka’ako Waterfront Park.  It was a beautiful, sunny day with many people in attendance.  There were many booths selling tasty, aromatic foods and lots of local products to tempt you.  The music flowed all day long as talented children “strummed their stuff”  and engaging professional entertained us.  The Aloha Tofu booth sold out of our Sesame Rice with Soy Beans and almost all of its Yudofu & Tofu Mousse.  We had so much fun, we can’t wait to do it again next year!  We hope to see you there too!

Capping off the Year!

Fans of Aloha Tofu Baseball caps have sent us pictures from far & wide wearing our hats!

The picture to the left is of Travis Steele on top of Mount Bierstadt in Colorado.  The picture below is of Travis and his family all wearing Aloha Tofu baseball caps on a family backpacking trip in Wyoming.  Travis and his family came to tour the Aloha Tofu Factory when they visited Hawaii.  He says he loves our tofu and wishes he can get some at home.

Thomas Carson says he wears his Aloha Tofu baseball cap almost everywhere!  He wanted to take a picture wearing his cap in a unique location – he felt Phoenix was too boring.  So he sent a picture of himself and his dad (below) golfing in Sedona during the 4th of July weekend. It’s a great scenic shot!

Peter Mills, of Florida, sent us a photo collage of himself wearing his Aloha Tofu cap in Bhutan, Brazil, French Guiana, Nepal, Georgia & Florida.  Wow, that man gets around!

Ryan Ettinger (below) is wearing his Aloha Tofu cap in front of the Middle Tennessee State University where he is in his Junior year there.

His friend, Brandon, is wearing his Aloha Tofu cap next to the marker that designates the geographical center of the State of Tennessee.  It was erected in 1978 by the Rutherford County Historical Society to memorialize the 200th year of American Independence.  Gosh, the things you learn from a picture!

You can purchase your own Aloha Tofu baseball cap from our store on the website.  If you do, send us a picture and we’ll blog about you too!
