Helping to make Kailua spirits bright are (from left) Elisa Paoa, Damien Demeter, Tia Paoa and Ann Reed. They joined other volunteers to decorate and put up the lights in Kailua town for the official lighting Dec. 5 as part of a 'Kailua Kine Christmas,' which is held in conjunction with the Castle hospital tree lighting that same night. Kailua Chamber of Commerce has hosted Light Up Kailua for more than 30 years, illuminating the town from Macy's on up Kailua Road to the town entrance. Photo from Catherine Sato.
