FINAL RESULTS FOR THE 2007 NA HOKU HANOHANO AWARDS 

No host cocktails began at 5:00 p.m., followed by dinner and the awards ceremony. This year's theme was
‘Alohilohi Ka Lei Hoku – The garland of stars shine in splendor. A wonderful evening of entertainment in celebration of the 30th Anniversary of the Na Hoku Hanohano Awards.
From Keola, The theme song for the 2007 Nā Hōkū Hanohano Awards, Nā Hōkū Pio ‘Ole (written by Keola Donaghy), can be heard by clicking on the play button on the file at the bottom of the opening page.
The original plan was to have it played going into and coming back from commercial breaks at the Nā Hōkū Hanohano Awards this year, but it looks like it may not be used in that way because of how tight the schedule is.

 I am humbled and honored to have been asked to supply the Official Graphic Photo for this years 30th Anniversary of the Na Hoku Hanohano Award's Front Page at the HARA Website.
