Snowbird Bento - Merrie Monarch 2001: 1st Runner Up Miss Aloha Hula

Ka Pa Hula O Kamehameha
Snowbird Puananiopaoakalani Bento

"Kuene Ka 'Ehu O Kalani"

1st Runner Up

*She competed the same year as Natasha Oda, and was immediately after that wonderful performance. Snowbird was a wonderful dancer herself, and believe it or not was one a *SINGLE POINT* away from Natasha's score. Snowbird Bento is now a renowned Kumu Hula, producing wonderful hula for the world...and sharing her gift with many more hula students.
