We’re just 1-week away from our 4th annual parking lot sale! If you’ve been to our past sales, then you know that this is an event that should not be missed! This is your opportunity to purchase artist & manufacturer direct from 34 different Tiki vendors, including… (in alphabetical order) 4WD Tiki This is so much more then just a parking lot sale. We’ve got “DJ Lava Flow” spinnin’ tropical tunes all day long, a professionally supervised “Keiki coloring room” so that you parents can get in some quality shopping time. There’s the “Tropical Paradise Dancers” that will be both performing & doing a Hula workshop for anyone interested. We’ll have Hawaiian Shave Ice & Hawaiian style hot dogs (with Hawaiian fruit relishes). PLUS the kicker… This is the 1x every year where we offer up our line of Tiki Farm VERY slight second Tiki mugs, bowls, shots & decanters for prices SO LOW – we cannot mention them here! We’ve been very busy creating so many new designs since our last sale that you’re bound to find something new at a bargain basement price! Some of the featured vendors this year are… TIKI MAKER SKINNY DOG DESIGN KEN RUZIC (aka Little Lost Tiki) Besides original paintings, Ken has also produced two Tiki Coloring books, art books and prints full of his delightful characters. Ken’s curiosity, humor and drive have helped him create hundreds of pieces that have found their way into Tiki huts around the world. Check out more of Ken’s work at WHEN: SATURDAY APRIL 19th, 9:00am – 5:00pm! If you want to make a b-line to get to your favorite vendor first, here’s a copy of the grounds layout… This is a rain or shine event and sorry but NO EARLYBIRDS will be allowed on the vending grounds before the 9am opening to the public. IMPORTANT: THERE WILL BE NO AFTER-PARTY AT MUGOOMBA. THE CITY HAS OUR MUGOOMBA BAR AS A "NON-PUBLIC GATHERING PLACE". With so many people possibly showing up and under the city's watchful eye, it can't happen. So, why don't we start throwing around possibly heading up to the Royal Hawaiian (about a 25 minute drive up the coast from Tiki Farm) or perhaps we can all get together at Fisherman's down at the San Clemente pier? The cocktails aren't anything to shake a stick at, but it's a great location with a killer view of the California coastline. Their seafood is also top notch. IMPORTANT: There is no parking for guests both in the Tiki Farm complex and in any of the adjacent, privately owned parking complexes. All parking is ON STREET only. If you park in any of the adjacent parking lots, you may get towed. Vendors and the band do get preferred parking in the Tiki Farm compound but there are more vendors then there are available spots... first come - first parked. Many of you have also been asking about having cocktails at the event. Just drink responsibly and all should be cool. As we're not serving cocktails (originally what the city had thought), it's now not much of an issue with them. [ Edited by: makedamug 2008-05-08 17:47 ] |

Leisure Master - Take the LIRR to Ronkonkoma, and jump on the Southwest Air plane to San Diego. If you reserve now you can get a Super Saver fare. I'll pick you up at the airport, drop you at a hotel and maybe even give you a ride to the event. And stop whining, fer crissakes, yer from New York! |

Mark your calendars for Saturday, April 19th. The sale will run from 9am until either 3pm or 5pm (depends upon the feedback from the school). I'll post up the flyer online after all vendors are finalized. |

Less then 24 hours after the announcement, vendors onboard thus far: 27 These are ALL top shelf vendors, too! This once-a-year sale really offers attendees an opportunity to do a wide breadth of shopping for Tiki & Pacific Island inspires wares. This is also the event where Tiki Farm BLOWS OUT all useable slight second mugs. The prices are so low, I can't mention them here. And the entrance fee for the sale? $0 |

You sold around 36 paintings at the Three Kings Art show, and you took 200, so you should have around 164 left, right? How much inventory do you need LLT? |
