Amy and Duke Carter of TIKI QUEST fame have become our MAJOR SPONSOR of the Tiki Pa'ina and as such I will be able to offer a good number of the TIKI QUEST books to be included in the Tiki Pa'ina Raffle.

Mahalo to Amy and Duke for being such a great sponsor of this event as I try to bring tiki to the masses of the Mid-West.

I am also doing a special mug with Tiki Tony and Tiki Farm that will be a new twist on a familiar mug. If all goes well the mug will be limited to 75 and will include artwork on the mug by Tiki Tony but also a signed numbered mini-print done By Tony that will be hand colored by him with water color. Because Tony is doing each one by hand it will make every one unique and a original by itself.
