KAILUA-KONA, Hawaii – A launch party was held in Kailua Kona over the weekend to introduce a new line of locally designed Sam Choy kitchen towels and accessories.

The products were designed by artist Brad “Tiki Shark” Parker, and will be distributed worldwide under the name “Sam Choy’s Hawaii Kitchen – Bringing a Little Aloha to your Home”.

Events were held Friday, November 6 at the Kona Ocean Front Gallery, and Saturday, November 7 at The Royal Kona Resort. The parties were open to the public, with partial proceeds being donated to the Hawaii HIV/AIDS Foundation, organizers say.
