Everyone is invited to the Kuna Farmers Market Luau and Car Show celebration from
9 to noon on Saturday. Come partake of the feast that will include roast pig, corn
on the cob and baked goods around the Market.
A Vogel Farms pig will be hickory smoked for 21 hours in a mobile oven by Rene Schoop,
the second generation owner of Meridian Meat and Sausage. Rene uses the old-fashioned
method of smoking without the added phosphates. The tender pork will be served on
potato bread rolls with a choice of Idaho barbeque sauces.
The roast pig or Kalua Pig is the highlighted dish of a Hawaiian luau which is typically
a feast and celebration of important events such as a baby’s first birthday, graduations
and weddings. Music and dancing are also part of a luau party.
Our local “Elvis,” Jim McDonell, will entertain with songs from Elvis’ 1973 concert
in Honolulu. Chassidy Gaunavinaka will perform traditional Hawaiian dance. Chassidy
is the 13-year-old granddaughter of Neal Durham, the Market fruit vendor.
In addition to the luau festivities, Treasure Valley Model A Ford Club members will
make the drive to Kuna to display their polished and restored vintage autos at the
Market.
Come enjoy the antique cars and the luau. Dress Hawaiian and get your picture with
the old cars or with Elvis.
Fresh produce at the Market this week includes sweet corn, peaches, apricots, green
beans, blackberries, melons, cucumbers.
