Kona Historical Society’s Final Bake of 2019 is Dec. 19

Join Kona Historical Society for its final Portuguese Stone Oven Bread Baking Program of 2019. This is a Special Bake, meaning the public is invited from 10 a.m. to noon Thursday, Dec. 19, to only watch Kona Historical Society staff and volunteers create these limited special occasion bread rolls and loaves at the stone oven, or forno, located in the pasture below the nonprofit’s headquarters and its historic general store museum in Kealakekua.

The aroma of freshly baked cinnamon bread rolls and country loaves will waft from Kona Historical Society’s stone oven. The mouth-watering smells are bound to surround onlookers and bread buyers like a sweet embrace.

Sweeten up Thanksgiving by supporting Kona Historical Society’s Special Bake

This Thanksgiving, after the delicious and filling main course, consider thinking outside the pie and serve cinnamon bread baked fresh in Kona Historical Society’s famous stone oven. This special treat is bound to be an unexpectedly sugary sweet palate cleanser at any gathering. However, if you prefer to stick to the holiday dessert classics, consider adding one of the society’s sweet or savory country loaves to your meal.

No matter what treat is chosen, take satisfaction knowing the proceeds from this Special Bake on Nov. 27 help support this community-based, nonprofit organization that has spent the past four decades collecting, preserving and sharing the history of the Kona districts and their rich cultural heritage within Hawaii.
