-Original response to HelzTiki is listed below the following-
Well the competition is only days away, so if you're looking for the event announcement, just scroll down a bit and you'll find what your looking for.

Aloha Ohana!

The time is arriving, dear adventures. As we speak, island natives are sharpening their spears while dark clouds of smoke are billowing from a fearsomely anxious volcano and dreadful creatures are moving amongst the jungle shadows, in search of their next meal. Deep inside the jungle growth sits the smoldering and twisted wreck of a plane, the fate of the passengers and the exotic treasure in their possession, is unknown. Soon you will be camped at the beach and while preparing for your impending journey into darkness, you’ll begin to feel the dark rhythm of drums and hear the terrible cries of creatures both exotic and unspeakable. Steel yourself adventures, for only your putting prowess and your wits will protect you upon this perilous journey.

Heed the warning sounds of the drums, dear friends, for the Tiki Links are nearly here!

(ahem-I hate to break character, but I have much to say)

Everything is looking good for Saturday! Mother Nature appears to be cooperating and it looks like we’ll have temps in the mid 60's, with a smattering of clouds. All the prizes are now in hand and final preparations are underway!

Here’s a peek at the tiki treasures that could be yours:

Prize Descriptions

Hand Carved Trobriand Island Ceremonial Paddle-World travelers, Oceanic Artists and all-around tiki legends, Bob and LeRoy's amazing talents have graced the greatest and most prolific of tiki establishments. To support our budding Ohana, they have provided an exquisite hand carved ceremonial paddle that is certain to be the jewel of someone's private exotic temple.

The Tiki Links 06’, Bronco Inspired “Coco” Tiki Mug-As you know, it’s all about the mug. The more creative, unique and difficult it is to obtain, the better. Therefore, Rum Demon (creators of some of the most artistic and unique tiki mugs available today) have provided you the opportunity to sip your tropical tiki libations from a coconut like no other. Our demented friend Coco has been created specifically for our gathering and sports Bronco Colored eyes in tribute to our mile high warriors. This unnumbered piece of Rum Demon mastery is signed, dated and ready for sipping.

Signed copy of Taboo Table-There are several names written within the tomes of tikidom and Beachbum Berry is one that is prominent among most. “The Bum”, as he is known, has exhausted years of research and explored the very darkest corners of lost (but not forgotten) tiki temples, to bring you this rare collection of tiki food and drink recipes, of which there is no equal. From Curry Dip, to Chicken of the Gods, to Bongo Bongo Soup, The Bum has spared little in his pursuit of exotic epicurean excellence and now offers you this opportunity to enjoy his Taboo Table.

Blue Hawaiian Framed Art Print-Worried that your Denver digs aren't quite up to snuff cause you don't have any quality tiki art on the walls? Well be troubled no longer. Tiki Cargo is offering one lucky Denver Ohana team the chance to swank their pad with one of a four part series of prints lionizing one of the aloha lifestyles most potent potions.

Copies of Tiki News-The original mag, that's sporting some Shag! Delve into the pages of Tiki News and discover the secrets, the mysteries, the mugs and the tikis' as only the eminent scribe, Otto Von Stroheim, can.

Vintage Papua New Guinea Ancestor Figure-Created and collected during tikis' heyday, this authentic, hand carved treasure is a sure prize for any tiki-philes personal collection. Tiki Toys has generously provided one land-locked member of the Ohana to posses this marvelous piece of Oceanic excellence.

Tiki Pendants-The belief is that the more tikis around you, the better fortune you'll have. The Tacky Tiki presents two hand crafted tiki pendants (the third was given as a promotional prize at Tiki Party II) to help two lucky Denver Ohana in keeping tiki truly close to their hearts, while soaking up some good vibrations.
