Saturday’s farm tours are a wonderful way for Dames from both the Big Island and Oahu to socialize and network while enjoying the hospitality of some of our Big Island Dames. Each Dame will be opening up their home, farm or factory to us complementary for part of the day. This is a unique opportunity to meet and learn more about Dames from both
Island’s prior to attending the Escoffier Dinner at the Fairmont Orchid.
