"Yeah, I read some magazine article years ago about the zoo with an employee talking about how many more visitors they got since Namaste and how the shave ice guy made $600 in just a few hours. "
It did happen, but it was on one day, an Earth Day Celebration:
Hawai'i Magazine:
Ten years ago, we didn’t have many visitors,” says Panaewa Rainforest Zoo & Gardens director Pam Mizuno, “but this past April, we had more than 4,000 people in one day.”
The crowd that gathered even caught zoo vendors by surprise.
“All the food vendors sold out, and the shave ice guy made $600 in three hours,” she says. “We didn’t expect that big of a crowd for our Earth Day celebration.”
