The fancy hat contest makes a comeback just in time for Hospice of Kona’s 10th annual Royal Tea. As in years past, guests are welcome to don festive hats and outfits as they celebrate life and friendship, and honor those who have passed away. This fundraiser for Hospice of Kona’s residential hospice home, Nakamaru Hale, will treat guests to a traditional high tea — featuring tasty mini sandwiches, pastries, scones and more — all with a Hawaiian twist. Tickets start at $55, with discounts for a ticket plus a wine glass (which includes unlimited wine at the event), duo tickets, tables of ten and others.
