I went to the LA County Fair yesterday in search of tiki. I had thoroughly enjoyed the Treasures of Polynesia theme from three years ago, so I had high hopes for the Flower & Garden Building this year and thought I would Escape to Hawaii.

The gigantic portable waste system in front of the volcano impeded the suspension of disbelief a bit.

Nice outrigger. Here I am thinking that there might be hope.

The entrance way. Good sign. The tikis are bound to be right around the corner.

Cute hut. But where are the tikis? I'm supposed to be in Hawaii, right?

They're not over here with the fish.

Okay. Any minute now...

Oh.

So I went through the indoor garden area, and this was my tiki highlight for the day. He's kinda nifty.

Then I went to the outdoor gardens. Someone had done a tiki bar garden.

For the most part, the only tikis at the fair were of the large-toothed mass produced variety. This guy wasn't too bad.

I still had a fabulous day. And besides, I really only go for the deep fried Twinkies and frozen cheesecake on a stick. :)
