The Raise a Tiki At Tiki Gardens Thread - Beyond Tiki

He doesn't read tikiroom forums with any regularity, so I'll email him tonight and ask that he post the latest news here. I think he's pretty busy too, so in case he doesn't reply soon, here's some dated, but relatively recent, information. A month or so ago, Gordon Keith, maker of the original Tikis at Tiki Gardens, submitted to Cy a sketch of the proposed memorial. It looked great, but more details were needed (it was an illustration, not a formal blueprint). I don't know if GK followed with a formal drawing or whether Cy got the details over the phone. Either way, the original idea was for a relatively large, landscaped, memorial that might cost tens of thousands of dollars to install. Obviously we don't have that kind of cash, so GK is going to scale it back somewhat. The last I heard, Cy was about to open an escrow account to pay for the construction. What follows is not related to the memorial, but Tiki Gardens fans might be interested to know that the giftshop at TikiGardens.com now has a secure shopping cart. Check it out.
