BIA-Hawaii hosted its annual Membership and Legislative Night Stew Challenge March 20 in the courtyard at St. Andrew’s Priory. Guests had the opportunity to meet Hawaii’s legislators and taste the building industry’s best stews, as well as vote for their favorite. The stew team with the most votes earned a “people’s choice” prize, and the top three teams, judged by professionals in the food industry, won monetary prizes.
