Go sign up at http://www.LuauAtTheLake.com and make sure you have [email protected] on your allowed list) Alooooooooha!!!! First, a big Mahalo to everyone who has purchased tickets for this year’s Ohana out at the Tiki Resort in beautiful Lake George, NY. Ticket sales have been overwhelming! If you haven’t pulled the trigger yet, you’d better act fast. We only have a limited number of tickets available, and we will sell out again this year. And speaking of selling out (how’s that for a segue?) the Tiki Resort is now SOLD OUT. Its possible that some rooms may open up due to cancellations, but in the meantime, if you haven’t made lodging arrangements, fear not!! Our official over-run hotel is once again the Holiday Inn, directly across the street from the Tiki (with a fantastic vantage point for some spectacular photos of the Tiki & the Lake). They’ve given us a rate of $159/night. Give them a call at 800.315.2621 and be sure to mention the Ohana Tiki Event to get in on the room block. You can get more info at http://www.lakegeorgeturf.com/ If you don’t mind a bit of a walk to/from the event, there are also some GREAT old mid century modern motels to stay at up the road (I’ll list some w/ pics at the end). Also, the Lake George Battleground State Campground is RIGHT next door to the Tiki for those who want to go native and rough it. http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/24453.html And there are a couple of other campgrounds around if you want to hitch up that vintage Airstream and take her out for a cruise! Ok, so now that your lodging problems are solved, onto to the fun stuff!!! We are doing the Dole Cocktail Contest again this year!! We’re going to switch it up a bit and try to have more items available to the entrants, but its pretty much the same idea. Create an original cocktail creation using AT LEAST one Dole product and compete for fabulous awards & prizes (not to mention bragging rights) Entrees will be judged on Use of Dole Products, Presentation, and Taste. If you’re interested in showing off your mixology skills, just send me an email ( [email protected] ) with the word CONTEST in the subject line. Spots are limited, so if you want in, let me know soon! Much more to come, so keep an eye on your inbox. Mahalo! and we’ll see ya at the Lake!!! -Bargoyle ps. I almost forgot!! Some of my favorite Lake George Retro Motels (there are MANY others, and a quick web search may reveal an undiscovered gem!): http://www.surfsideonthelake.com/ cool sea side theme. http://www.osullivansmotel.com/ VERY googie, and they have cabins! http://www.lakecrestinn.com/ fantasic un-changed retro coffee shop in the front
