The Brown ohana of Wailuku hosted a Hawaiian Style Sledding Competition on Dec. 23 at the Kahului Community Center.
Twenty-five families participated in the event.
Rules specified that sleds must be constructed out of cardboard, duct tape and paint. Wax also was permitted. Each sled had to be manned, but there was no limit to the number of riders. The idea was to create a sled that will go the farthest or be the most unique.
