Silent Auction
A selection of fantastic items will be auctioned off in the Hilo Orchid Society Silent Auction. Funds raised will be donated to disagree relief for our neighbors devastated by the eruption in Puna.  Last year's items included rare orchids, Hawai`i Island attractions, jewelry, original artwork, original photography, restaurant gift certificates and many more items. Each day people will have the opportunity to bid on new Silent Auction items.
Preview Party
To kick off the orchid show, our friends at the Ku’ikahi Mediation Center are holding a Preview Party from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. on Thursday, July 12 at the Edith Kanaka‘ole Stadium.   The gala event features refreshments, live music, and orchid viewing and pre-sales.  Click here for more information.
