Honolulu honored a 105-year-old local cracker maker with its own official day, a bright note for Hawaii's small-business scene.

• Mayor Rick Blangiardi declared an official Diamond Bakery Day in Honolulu to mark the milestone.
• The company opened its Kalihi factory to the public with free treats, giveaways, tastings from other local brands, and factory tours.
• Founded in 1921 by three Japanese immigrants, it was the first bakery in Hawaii to make crackers.
• City officials used the moment to point out that local businesses, not just tourism, carry Hawaii's economy through rough patches.

Outlook: Expect more official attention on Hawaii's homegrown businesses as tourism income stays uneven.
