Still Calling All Maui Voters!

I need to continue yesterday's post because I keep seeing more and more campaign signs popping up like mushrooms all over the place.  In less than 24 hours, Don Couch and Paul Laub added signs next to Arakawa's in Paia, never mind Laub and Couch are running for County Council and Arakawa for Mayor.




At the busy and crowded intersection of Puunene and Wakea Avenues in Kahului, there appeared such a mass gathering of signs I actually felt visually lost.

I do like the Porsche though.





Does the owner of that fence charge for the ad space?





Attack of the Alan's!

Walk one block down Wakea Ave. from this intersection and find a slew of Alan Fukuyama signs flanking an Alan Arakawa.









My favorite so far is actually a banner from Bobby Bunda.  I have no idea who he is or what he stands for, but I just like his name and his face!





Look at those pearly whites!




Added Sat, June 5:

Another flock of signs on Dairy Road near the fire station in Kahului.

Calling All Maui Voters!

Election day on Maui is still more than 3 months away, but the mayoral candidates and their staff are already starting to campaign.  There is no such thing as a billboard on Maui, so bumper stickers and wooden signs are the norm.

This Chris Hart For Mayor sticker actually works for me because its so cheesy.  It definitely made an impression!




Erecting an Alan Arakawa sign in Paia this afternoon.





Frankly, the pic below is not related to this post, but I did break down an eat an Original Glazed and an Old-Fashioned Krispy Kreme doughnut this afternoon.  The young lady behind the counter originally gave me one of these - fresh from tubing down the fry oil river - doughnuts hand-picked off the line thinking they were the Old Fashioned, but they turned out to be Pumpkin Spice, which she let me keep nonetheless.  :)

Trans-fats and supporting local business be damned (if only for today)!
