NEWS FLASH! Just Added!.....
TOYS FOR TOTS DRIVE!
Please bring your new, unwrapped toy with a value of at least $10.00 to the Tonga Hut "Tiki Winter Wonderland" and help make Christmas bright for so many children that are seeking Santa this year. 
By doing so, the Tonga Hut will reward you with * 1 FREE "Tonga Hut Tiki Wonderland Cocktail"
It's the giving season please Join us in giving with the U.S. Marine Corp. and Toys For Tots! http://www.toysfortots.org/
I almost forgot, "The program is for infants through 14-year-olds. As Christmas looms, Toys for Tots especially needs donations of items for older children, 10 to 14, such as books, radios or watches. The program runs out of toys for that age group first, in part because it doesn't get as many donations for those kids." I might add, Fishing Poles, First Make-up kits, things of that sort.
Saturday December 11th Doors open at 4:00
12808 Victory Bl. NoHo Ho Ho! Ca.
*FREE "Tonga Hut Tiki Wonderland Cocktail" Limited to 1 cocktail per person that brings 1 toy or more, no teams, pairing or groups.

Grog, you truly inhabit the spirit of Tikimas! Once again, you put together another wonderful wonderland! Thank you to the Tonga Hut (Jeremy and Kelly!) and all the fun people and artists who showed up. I had a great time and left with some lovely prezzies for friends! (Okay...mainly for me.) I hope we all see each other soon again. Summer Tiki parties are just too far away! XOX and Aloha!

Kelly, Grog and all of the vendors, thanks for putting on the Tiki Wonderland. It made my first visit to the Tonga Hut a memorable one. Nice to meet and talk to all of the great Tiki Central folks from the area, wish I could have stayed longer.

Wow, everybody posed with everyone, are there any possible combinations left!? Great shooting job as always, Tom.
I regret having had to leave early, missing some folks. I had a full Tiki day: O.A., Bahooka, Tonga...
Glad my shirt fits, Jason! And WHO in this group is wearing the correct shirt!?:
