Well, it's that time of year again. When you can find Maui Wowi virtually anywhere! In addition to catering and fixed locations around Boston and the North Shore, we participate as a vendor at many street festivals and concerts that you frequent throughout the Spring and Summer! We want to make it easy for you to be able to taste our all-natural, non-fat smoothies and gourmet Kona Coffees! Today, we were at MayFair in Cambridge right in Harvard Square. If you haven't been before, this is one of the largest 1 day events in New England. There were over 100,000 people there and the blenders were going all day long, selling everything from Passion Papaya to Lemon Wave smoothies. These pictures are from the begining of the day. We got there and began serving at noon, and never looked up until 6pm until it was over. There were some great bands playing too, like Chester French. Overall a great day and we were happy the weather held out. See you again and The Cambridge River Festival in a few weeks!
Event #2 of Saturday! Very close to being exhausted at this point, but we knew we'd perk up as soon as we got to Hampshire College. So, we downed some of our own Hawaiian Kona Coffee and got back into the swing of it to serve some smoothies with Rum for this Tropical Themed Party. One of Hampshire College's most esteemed professors was calling it a career and wanted to go out in style. So, those who knew him best knew he'd love a Tropical Themed Event. What tropical themed event is complete without Maui Wowi and the Tiki Bar? Not only did they bring us in, but they also had a complete steel drum band as well!! We were set up outside on the porch along with the steel drum band and the other bar. We served the guests Strawberry-Banana and Pina Colada Smoothies with some Captain Morgan's Parrot Bay Coconut Rum in each one. As if our smoothies weren't already healthy and delicious, we can also add that extra something to your party by turning them into daquiris and margaritas!! The guests were pleased and enjoyed their drinks and hawaiian leis to make them feel like they were on The Island of Amherst instead of the Town of Amherst! Mahalo to Nick and Kelly for bringing us in!!
Another Saturday and another 2 events for Maui Wowi! First, we find ourselves at Connecticut College for their famous annual Floralia Event! This is one big party, folks. Students camp out in tents and begin partying around 6am!! Who knew college kids were up that early on a Saturday? For Floralia though, they throw out all the rules. By the time Maui Wowi showed up at 11am, students had already been partying for 5 hours!! So, you can imagine how much fun we had. They were able to take a break from the partying and grab some smoothies along with the other food that the College was serving. Ali was helping out today and she had a great time as well working with all the students. If you look at the t-shirt of one of the students drinking a smoothie, I think it shows what kind of "Divine" Powers are at play when Maui Wowi comes to town!
And, we're back! Back in Rhode Island again. Johnson & Wales last night in Providence, Roger Williams today in Bristol! I guess Rhode Island loves the Hawaiian Islands! Roger Williams had a fantastic week of activities planned for their Spring Week and wanted Maui Wowi to be a part of it. Naturally, we were very excited. It was a sports themed week (anyone who knows me, knows I was happy about that) and we fit right in with all the other vendors they had there . The weather wasn't cooperating, so they moved the whole thing into their Field House which was just fine. They set up booths that would test your accuracy on football throws, soccer kicks, and shooting a basketball. Kendra was busy working the blenders (and doing a great job!) and I was busy taking pics of everyone having fun. We had an awesome time here and can't wait to work with RWU again. This was another school with tons of athletes and our healthy smoothies fit right in! Mahalo to John for having us in!
