People take a great interest in the individual leis and ask the volunteers attending each category a lot of questions. The media know about this event, of course. It was no surprise to see a camera person from a local station getting some video for the evening news. Lei sellers had tables both inside the zoo and outside along the fence. It is a good chance to pick up a lei, even if it isn't quite up to the standard of those on display.
