Uncle Wayne and the Howling Dog Band

Since 2010, Uncle Wayne and the Howling Dog Band has been barnstorming Hawaii’s libraries, schools and festivals, creating a musical ruckus with every show. Their original songs, a unique blend of island flavored bluegrass, folk and blues make children and their grownups want to dance and sing along. Join us in Kihei for an educational, sensational, high energy good time. Show starts at 10:30 AM sharp; don’t be late!

Suitable for all ages. Young children must be accompanied by a parent or adult caregiver.

Sponsored by the Maui Friends of the Library.

Board games, card games, Dungeons and Dragons, and more – come on over to Kihei for this all-new Tuesday afternoon event, and bring your game faces!

We’ll provide games and toys for all ages – but it does help if you’re old enough to not eat the dice. 🙂 No video games, though – we’re sticking with analog.
