And yes - we almost forgot ourselves! Look for us near the temple kitchen - just follow the scent of freshly made andagi. Also, please check out our mini bake-sale that will be stocked with goodies made by a few of our drummers as we start our fundraising campaign for next year's Japan trip!

Also of note - we'll be doing double-duty as entertainment as well! As an experiment, we'll be featuring mini-teams at the bottom of every hour, many times trying out new performance roles for the first time. We hope to see you tomorrow!

Thank you Aunty Ronnie for helping to coordinate and organize the Summer Festival!

Look for our Puna Yagura-Gumi and our friends at as we help out where we can! Hope to see you out there under the lanterns!
