Because folks have asked who-all is gonna be at Ohana this year selling awesomeness, and because it got kinda buried in the email blast yesterday, lets chat about Sponsors and Vendors and Auctions, oh my!!!

Two words: Bring Cash. Or credit cards. Or a check book. Ok, nine words.

Yes, the tiki-starved North East will once again be inundated with pure amazing for sale/auction all day Saturday!

The SILENT AUCTION will be back, with one-of-a-kind goodies and more cool stuff than you can shake a tiki pole at, with 100% of the proceeds going to charity!! Take the time to check out all the items our friends, hosts, sponsors, and vendors have donated, and place your bid on the special tiki item of your dreams!

And as much as we’d like you to donate ALL of your cash at the Silent Auction buying killer cool stuff that benefits the EIF, I should probably tell you to save some money for the amazing Vendors we’ll have on site this year!

Here’s a list to get you salivating:

SPONSORS (Most of whom will be onsite with products to buy, win, sample,or share!)

• Brinley Gold Rum ( http://www.brinleygoldrum.com )
• Frankies Tiki Room ( http://www.frankiestikicentral.com )
• Royer ( http://www.royercorp.com )
• Barritts Ginger Beer ( http://www.barrittsgingerbeer.bm )

And before I go any further, a HUGE tip of the fez to the folks in that list above. Without our Sponsors, Ohana simply would not be possible. For reals. Support these folks in any way you can, and be sure to give ‘em a nice “Mahalo!” during the event! Check out the webpage for all the cool bells & whistles and links to their sites (in case I mistyped something above): http://www.fraternalorderofmoai.org/ohana/sponsorship.php

Look for all the action out under the Big Top, rain or shine (Seriously… we’ve got a GIANT tent to cover the entire vending area, so no worries about weather. And since we’re finally prepared, that means it won’t rain, but it’ll be nice and shaded and cool under there!)

Holy crapnuggets that’s quite a list!!

And I think I typed “Rum Sample” in there? Is that right? Free Rum? Two of my favorite words put together in a two word sentence!?!?!?!? Can someone double-check that? Caroline, is that corre…. It is? Really? You’re not just messing with me right? Hmmmm.

Ok, so uhhh, emergency meeting with our Volunteers!! I may be uhhh… “unavailable” for most of Saturday, so we’ll have to re-divide some of the responsibilities here. We’ll figure it out at the next meeting.

That’s all folks!

See ya at the Lake!!!
