Oh, and RUM, too!!!!!

DEADHEAD RUM is giving away 2 FREE Tickets to Ohana & a FREE Room at The Tiki Resort, as well as a bottle of their awesome RUM.

WHO'S IN!?!?!?

Here are all the details on how to enter - Deadline is THIS FRIDAY at MIDNIGHT EST

All entries must be received through Facebook, so if you don’t have a facebook account, now is the time to finally join.

Step ONE is to LIKE Deadhead Rum on the facepage: https://www.facebook.com/DeadheadRum

Even if you aren’t planning on entering the contest, you should go LIKE Deadhead. It’s a sweet hookup they’re offering. Go show Kim & the Deadhead gang some love with a few clicks!

Step TWO: Take a photo showing off your love and appreciation of Deadhead. The sky is the limit here. You can paint yourself to look like the bottle, take a selfie surrounded by full/empty deadhead bottles, photoshop yourself INSIDE the bottle ala I Dream of Jeanie, whatever you want!! Get creative, get wild, but get it done by Midnight (EST) THIS Friday, June 5th.

Step THREE: Once you have your photographic masterpiece ready, POST it to the Deadhead Facebook Page : https://www.facebook.com/DeadheadRum You know, the page you LIKED in step one, and tag it with “Show Us Your Head!” If you’d rather be contacted via email in the event of winning, include your email address in the post. And again, all entries must be received by Midnight (EST), June 5th, 2015.

Step FOUR: Profit!! No, wait. That’s not right. Step four is to sit tight as the Deahead staff goes through the entries. A winner will be decided and announced on Monday, June 8th. If you provided an email, we’ll reach out to you that way, otherwise keep an eye on your facebook message inbox!

Its just that easy!!

The Fine Print:

Since the contest is coming late, we’ve already got our headcounts in to the Tiki… which means if you win, but already have tickets, we can’t guarantee any refunds. Plan on bringing friends. Sell them your tickets and take the freebies! :wink:

In the same vein, you could use your winning entry simply to move from a different hotel to a Patio Suite at the Tiki. Canceling your existing room will be your responsibility. If you already have a room at the Tiki (but want that Patio Suite Upgrade… I think its got a heart shaped hot tub, no lie!) we cant guarantee that The Tiki can refund you for your existing room, but we will try. They have a pretty deep waiting list.

To put it simply: we’re not some corporate juggernaut; We’re Ohana!! If we can help you unload a room or extra tickets, we certainly will, but we can’t guarantee it, so plan on inviting someone else if you already have tickets… maybe that hot gal/guy you’ve had your eye on? Or your parents? Or the mailman/woman?

One entry per person please. If you have multiple ideas, check with your friends and only submit the best one!

Good luck!!! And we’ll see ya at the Lake!!

And, of course, the 7th Annual Ohana Cocktail Contest is happening, again - sponsored by El Dorado RUM!!

If you're attending Ohana & would like to whip-up a tasty libation with El Dorado, contact us for details!

Only a few hours left for entries in the Deadhead Rum "Show Us Your Head" contest. The competition looks strong.

Lucky don't say um ever again.

tikiskip - really, with the trolling???

Let your beef with the FOM rest, please.....!!

You don't even know what you're talking about. Very very few of the 28 entries are FOM. Not like that would be a problem anyway.

Just walk away, already

By the way, John, that video by Lucky is not even relevant to the point at hand

EDIT to add that the video was done over a year ago for a completely different purpose

I think people had fun with the contest, you don't have to agree.

Anyway, the contest was open to anybody and Deadhead picks the winner.

First thing I don’t have a beef with many FOM (Fraternal Order of Moai) members as I don’t even know them.
When I was in there was say 30? People in the FOM, there is like two or three times that now?

Plus I don’t see what I posted as bad, it is a contest where you win a trip to a FOM event.
AND I saw more than a handful of people that I knew as FOM (Fraternal Order of Moai)had entries in said contest.
I was being Descriptive not pejorative.

I was a bit negative to Lucky, but it would help him get his message across and make for a better
presentation if he had less ums in his events.
It was hard to follow Lucky's narrative as there was an um every 10 seconds or so.
Should have sent it to him in a PM though.

Trolling? Why is it when the FOM (Fraternal Order of Moai)does what you call Trolling it is known as ja/tf/dfb I think
that is Jackasserie Tom Foolerie and dam fool boobrie.
See it’s fun when the FOM rips on people but the FOM army comes out when even the smallest thing is
aimed at them.

Some FOMers Fraternal Order of Moai rode Tiki David and ripped on his wife till he died.
And they do mess with others as well as me, so it’s not like all are innocent.
I will let others decide if they want talk of their bad dealings with the FOM.

I will lay off of FOM posts.
But don’t see what the big riff is about on this one.

You made me curious so I counted. Five. So exactly a handful really.

See there you go FOM entry's, FOM prize.
That looks FOM to me.

Was not trying to say it was rigged.
