"Relive the Plantation Days," one of Hawaii's Plantation Village's most popular events, returns on the first Saturday of each month starting Jan. 7. Each program is from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The programs will feature activities and demonstrations of a different ethnic heritage group each month.

The Puerto Rican community will be featured in January. Demonstrations include pasteles making by Ramona Caraballo. During the plantation era, pasteles were considered a "special occasion" food, prepared and enjoyed especially at Christmas, Three Kings Day and Easter.

Also scheduled is a demonstration by John Colon on how to play the traditional game of horseshoes.

Hawaii's Plantation Village also will present a narcissus bulb-carving demonstration and workshop in January for the Chinese New Year, which will be celebrated Jan. 29.

Korean and Portuguese heritages will be featured in February and March, respectively.
