Here! Here! Hats off to a wonderful event that ran smoothly from my perspective. I only wish I had more time to share with you all, but promise to devote more next year.

Vending was an amazing experience, but more than that. Meeting everyone was the biggest excitement for me.

I didn't bring my children but was incredibly impressed with all of the children's activities that took place throughout the weekend. I was also impressed that families co-mingled so well with partiers, sharing that "we're here for a good time" feel that everyone could enjoy.

Hats off to Otto, Baby Doe, and all of the Tiki Farm Folks that did such a wonderful job. I was especially impressed with how well you handled the "Caliente sold" scare and bullying that took place mere weeks before the event and behind-the-scenes meetings and communication that promised a quality event for all involved. Hats off to all of you vendors and entertainers who truly represented the aloha spirit to a newcomer. Hats off to all of the shoppers because you made it so fulfilling.

Very well done! Stands and applauds
