The first major event to be hosted at the newly re-opened (and better than ever) Four Seasons Resort Hualalai takes place this Friday night, May 6. Closed for 6sixweeks of repairs and renovations following the March tsunami, Four Seasons Hualalai opened it’s doors again Saturday, April 30 to an appreciative crowd of devotees.

The 15th Annual Tropical Paws Event, benefiting the Hawaii Island Humane Society, gets underway at 6 p.m. on May 6 and includes live entertainment, dancing, live and silent auctions, and dinner created by the Four Seasons Hualalai’s acclaimed culinary team led by Executive Chef James Babian.

It’s one of Hawaii Islands most anticipated annual events, always filled with a few surprises and attended by Big Island ‘glitterati’. You don’t want to be missed making your entry!

One of the ’showcase’ live auction lots is a Sonoma Wine Country getaway featuring private wine tastings, accommodations at the ultra chic Healdsburg Hotel, golf at the exclusive Mayacamas Golf Club and roundtrip airfare for two.

A limited number of seats are still available and are priced at $100 per person. For details and tickets: www.hihs.org or (808) 329-1175.
