All the workers are so nice.” This year’s Special Fair was presented by the county Parks Department and its staff. Organizations providing food, drinks and other support included Hale Mahaolu, Central Pacific Bank, Minit Stop, Cupies, Maui Soda & Ice, Costco, Matson and Maui Toyota. The Maui Fair hits the halfway point and is open 10 a.m. to midnight today and 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. Sunday.
