Attention Marin County Fair Attendees
For those of you attending please be sure to read the following:
This year we’re hoping to have a larger audience. Considering that we are performing later in the day, it being the first day of the fair which means kids attend for free.
Though this event and tickets are for UFOhana performers only, Please feel free to invite your friends, neighbors, family, students to bring their own Ukuleles and join in the fun! Song books (aka Flight Manuals) will be available.
Performance Day:
- Many of you already know the drill. Please be sure to be there no later than 12:30. We perform at 1pm, end at 1:45pm.
- Setup your music stands before going onstage (share with another ‘Ohana member if possible).
- Prep/tune your Ukulele before going in stage.
- When it’s our turn, get on stage asap, but don’t run over each other doing so. Please help those in need of assistance.
- Core musicians will line upfront.
- Hula Dancers will be on stage and in front, with keiki’s next to the Vendola Cafe Core Band (VCCB). See below for Stage Plot details.
- When you’re on stage please let the sound techs do their job(s), ie don’t get in their way. When we’re cleared for take off . . .
- Remember to smile, connect with someone in the audience, and enjoy!
I’m told that the Vendola Cafe Hula Dancers will be wearing white hula dresses with Red Hibiscus and kukui nut leis.
I ask that anyone joining the VCHD dress as such, definitely no hula dancers with jeans. Join in only if you know the hula. The VCHD has been practicing diligently for this event so please respect their time on stage.
Everyone else, please wear Colorful Hawaiian Attire. Dress for warm weather. Stay hydrated.
Remember what Marion said, Look up at the audience once in a while and smile.
All VCCB members please bring your own Ukulele Cables to plug into the sound system. It’ll help speed up setup time.
I’ll be providing the Flight Manual, as usual, I’ll have a few for the audience as well.

I’ve also designed some special Pins for the event and will hand them out on performance day.
For those of you registered, I should have tickets available this Wednesday. Contact Nohea (aka Linda Wallace) at 415-572-1175 to arrange for pickup or come by this Saturday at our Vanikapila.
I could not find a 2025 Fair Map, but I’m assuming we’ll be at the same location as last year, the “Kaiser Permanente Community Stage”, see below. Of course, it could have a different Sponsor Name, but the location has always been the same, so far.

a plan for futures,
a promise of coming truths,
a choice of the one.
