The throngs heading toward 'Iolani School today know it's that time again — yes, it's the final day of the annual fair that's bursting with entertainment, food booths, games, Xtreme rides, cooking demos, an art sale, silent auction, crafts, gently-used clothing, produce, plants ... and lots of people.

The 17th annual event is themed "Go For the Gold," a reference to the summer Olympics (in fact, you can bid on travel packages to Beijing at the silent auction).

New this year: "Eco-Square," where folks can learn how to live in an environmentally conscious way.

Here are a few of today's highlights:

  • 12:30 p.m.: Cooking demonstration by Hank Adaniya, of Hank's Haute Dogs

  • 3:30 p.m.: Talent show

  • 6 p.m.: Performance by Beach 5

  • 7:15 p.m.: Screening of the action thriller "Transformers" on the football field

  • 7:30 p.m.: Performance by Greg Sardinha and Zanuck Lindsey, with Kimo Artis.

    Proceeds from the fair, which began yesterday, help pay for student activities.
