You will find Wikolia Enos and Mahealani Nakaahiki at nearly every event during the 39th annual Kona Coffee Cultural Festival this year. That's because the two young ladies are the reigning Miss Kona Coffee and Miss Aloha Hawaii, respectively, for 2010.

The scholarship pageant was held at the Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel a week ago. Ten contestants were judged in five areas: a private interview, talent, evening wear, bathing suit and an on-stage interview.

Since their crowning, Enos and Nakaahiki have been picking cherries, marching in parades, and posing for countless photographs.

19 year old Wikolia Enos is a 2008 graduate of Kamehameha Schools Hawaii Campus and Hawaii Community College student, majoring in administrative justice. She plans to encourage and motivate youth to establish a positive legacy.

23 year old Mahealani Nakaahiki attended Castle High School and Soquel High School, and is a University of Hawaii at Hilo student studying nursing. Her platform is raising awareness on ALS.
