We were very well received by the throngs of spectators, and... WE WON BEST BIG RIG!!! How cool is that?!?! MUCHO MAHALOS to everybody who helped out with the float! Manuel, Claudia, Murph, Rob, Krisdrama, David, Gina, Christine, Tonga Tom, Sherriyaki, Tiki-ESP, Karen, Agent Banks, Marty, Steve, John-O, Gee Davee, PolyPop, Big Kahuna, Caroline & Dog... this project couldn't have happened without your help! Already working on plans for next year's float! Check out this link for more parade info: http://psfestivaloflights.com/ Tonga Hut is entering a float in the Palm Springs Festival of Lights Parade on Saturday, December 7th. It's a fun way of introducing the Hut to the Palm Springs community and to herald the opening of the second location of the Tonga Hut in downtown Palm Springs. Murph mentioned the idea to me and I did some drawings of how I thought the float could look... I'm excited to say my design will be brought to illuminated life for the parade! Here are the drawings for the float concept: There will also be people walking along side the float, with illuminated tiki head masks: Mahalo!
