Thrift Town Goes Tiki - General Tiki

I ikitnrev Tiki Socialite D.C. / Virginia Joined: Jul 27, 2002 Posts: 1325	I ikitnrev Posted posted on Sat, Jul 12, 2003 10:18 AM I received this message from another 'thrift store' message group I belong to. I believe that the Thrift Town chain is located in the western U.S. Thrift-Town is starting this new promotion called Tiki Tuesday; buy an item that day between 5 and 7 and you get entered into a drawing for TT gift certificate. All the clerks are wearing leis and the place is festooned with Tiki tackiness. Now, it would be nice if they had been saving all the old donated tiki mugs, and setting them out for those two hours each week. Vern

I thought I'd mention it anyway, just in case any of you west coasters are looking for a more suitable 2 hour window to feel a bit more festive as you look for old tiki items in thrifts. I probably should of posted the initial message in either the 'collecting' or 'other' forums. Vern
