Thank You Tiki Caliente 4 Room Hosts and Crawlers you were a smash hit!

Room decor contests have been a tiki event standard at events for years now all over the globe. The best room decoration at TC4 went to the "Flaming Tiki" Room! Special mention to the wonderful hosts, the "Zen Tiki Lounge" Fantastic job to all who decorated and set the perfect mood for all of us to enjoy.

The Cocktail Contest, Thank You to all of our Hosts! I don't remember events having a contest for best cocktail until a couple years ago, I was worried about this as I didn't want to discourage anybody from joining in the fun. In the end I believe that folks who wanted to host did host for the fun of showing their skills and throwing a great party for all of us Thank You Hosts!
