Kona, Hawaii's Big Island - The Fifteenth Annual Huggo's Wahine Tournament has announced the dates for the 2010 event. The tournament will be held Saturday the 31st of July in Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii.
The Huggo's Wahine Billfish Tournament 2010 theme "Hollywood Divas & Legends" is a ladies only event, which is held annually as a fundraiser for non-profit community organizations, this year the Family Support Services of West Hawaii will benefit.
