Hanapepe Kiosks Installed at Lihue Airport

Eye catching Hanapepe Kiosks Installed at Lihue Airport

All who travel through the Lihue airport baggage claim areas will be greeted with two informative kiosks freshly designed to educate about Hanapepe town and activities of that area of the island.

The kiosks feature the Historic Hanapepe Walking Tour, historic sites, building photos, businesses, and other activities including the Friday Art Night. Artists, galleries and businesses contributed to the outreach project that was coordinated by Hanapepe Economic Alliance. Carpenters Al Lopes and Skip MacWilliams pushed hard to get the kiosks constructed. Artist Dawn Traina painted up to the last minute before installation.

“We wanted to get these updated and renovated kiosks installed before the end of the year to allow visitors a fresh view of the Hanapepe area,” said Joanna Carolan, HEA treasurer. “Extra effort went into photographic preservation to last many years.”

The Hanapepe Economic Alliance, a nonprofit corporation, received a grant from the Hawai`i Tourism Authority and the County of Kaua`i Office of Economic Development to coordinate the project. Anyone interested in the Historic Walking Tour or Friday Art Night may call 335-5944 or visit http://kauai.net/hanapepe.
