Museum Festival Now Rescheduled Dec. 6

This year's Bishop Museum Festival, normally held in October, has been rescheduled to Family Sunday, Dec. 6.

The major attraction of this Family Sunday will be the opportunity to see areas of the Museum not normally open to the public: the research areas; the fabulous and famous ethnology collection; the vertebrate zoology eolleehon; the extensive fish collection — including the awesome MegaMouth — and a ehanee to leam mueh more about what the Museum really is, and has, and does; to see how its research affects the overall life of the Hawaii community; and to see how its work protects the island culture for the island generations to eome.

Planetarium shows will be presented throughout the day, without charge, on a first-come, first-served basis. It will be a festive day with many craft booths offering Christmas shopping opportunities unmatched for original and unique gifts, food booths with delicious ethnic foods, keiki activities, a plant sale, T-shirts, a drawing for a Hawaiian quilt, and continuous entertainment by the brightest stars in Hawaiian music and dance.

Non-profit organizations wishing to operate food booths, and craftspeople wishing to demonstrate or sell their work should contact the museum as soon as possible. Phone 835-4711. Don't miss Festival '87, on Family Sunday with Hawaiian Telephone Company as the corporate sponsor. Admission is free to all loeal residents and active military personnel.
