Comment observations:

Regarding competitions, it sounds like there's some interest in a physical contest of some sort. Maybe an iron man style contest?

-Tiki totem toss-just like the Scottish Caber (which I've actually competed in)
-A Coconut shot put for distance
-Hula hoop for endurance? (I don't know exactly, but a good things come in threes and so a third contest seems appropriate)

Though some of these activities may require some form of waiver for the participants, I think they could be fun. Now finding a site that such activities could occur.......could be a little hard to find.

Now about an Iron Mixologist contest, I REALLY like that!

Classes:
So far, there've been some good responses on the classes.

-Some form of tribal face or body painting
-Mixology and Garnish classes
-Dancing
-Lei Making

Adult Specific Activities:
There seems to be a desire for a little bawdy entertainment, as well. Not sure what would go into including such a facet to a tiki event. Restricted access, of course, but I think there would be a few legal hurdles to cross, as well. Also, I'm not sure if this would something that would appeal to enough event attendees to make it financially feasible.

Ambience:
Finding a location with existing tropical decor or can be decorated appropriately.

Please keep the thoughts flowing folks!
