It’s a tie between bears and elephants. I don’t think we have bears at our zoo, so at least here at home, it would be elephants. They are so noble and admirable.
I dislike circuses after what happened in 1994. I won’t go to a circus that has wild animal acts. In fact, that 1994 circus was the last circus to visit Hawaii, and good riddance. However, of non-animal acts, I have to be honest. I like any that involve pretty girls.
I really don’t like parades either. Most people know I hate crowds, so you are VERY unlikely ever to see me in attendance at one. When I was a Boy Scout, my troop annually marched in the Wahiawa Veterans Day Parade. That was a nice tradition. My last would have been in 1986.
In March or April, I went to a baseball game between my alma mater Hawaii Pacific University and Pacific University at Hans L’Orange Park. We won.
Well, there’s the Waikiki Spam Jam, which I have never attended. Kona has a coffee festival I’ve never attended but would really like to. And some people I know just attended the Kapalua Wine Festival. That would be really fun to attend, too.
