Murals in the ‘Activate Puna’ series were coordinated by Temple <br />Children. <br /> <br />A food activation – Taste of Puna – is planned for Fall 2019 to elevate area farmers, tastemakers and the <br />island’s agricultural scene. <br /> <br />‘Activate Puna’ is driven by Council Member Ashley Kierkiewicz and the Council District 4 team. More <br />than three dozen community members are involved in the planning and execution of the ‘Activate Puna’ <br />series. <br /> <br />‘Activate Puna’ is made possible by support from County Departments of Research & Development, <br />Public Works, and Parks & Recreation, First Hawaiian Bank, KWXX, Ormat, Honsador Lumber, Hawaii <br />Electric Light Company, Grand Naniloa Resort, Temple Children, Andrew Hara, Hawaii Tracker, Circle of <br />Life Art Studio, The Wave, and Mainstreet Pahoa Association. <br /> <br />‘Activate Puna’ is a part of a larger effort to Activate Big Island. The idea is to create a model for <br />community engagement and empowerment that can be duplicated in towns around the island. <br /> <br />For more information, visit www.hawaiicounty.gov/activatepuna <br /> <br />### <br /> <br />MEDIA NOTE: The following content available for download here: <br />https://drive.google.com/open?id=1fddyDoTi1HEOVyPmxQjUfS2Cg0lX1mkS <br /> Activate Puna social media promo tile <br /> Activate Puna logo variations <br /> Photos of ‘Above and Beneath’ mural at Pahoa Community Aquatic Center (PC Andrew Hara) <br /> Photos of Puna Strong flags (several of more than 3,000 to be installed at May 11 block party) <br /> <br />Photos of the PHIS mural will be captured Friday, May 10, and can be made available upon request. <br />
