Tiki Oasis 2017 Part 1 The Car Show and Retro Tiki Shopping

I have no idea why it took so long to finally get around to posting about Tiki Oasis 2017 this year.   I usually can't wait to post stuff the second I get home.  I guess life has just been busy.  This pas weekend we went to the Ohana Celebration at Don the Beachcomber and with Tiki on the brain and Tiki Oasis 2018 going on sale this month I finally decided to do a couple of quick little photo blogs from what was a very different Tiki Oasis for us.

Here are a few pictures from the car show.  This car jumped out at us because it is a Hudson.  Which is the name of our little Tiki Baby whose first trip to Tiki Oasis was this year.

I loved the Pin-up art on this car

The Green Hornet

Of course now a staple of the Car show Food Trucks.

 Entertainment out by the Car Show

Here are some pictures of some of the shopping this year.  I didn't take as many pictures as usual --but here is a sampling.

My wife spent some money here

I love these Disneyland Tikis allow my wallet wouldn't let me bring one home...

This shirt would have been perfect for the year Darb came

Darb's Tiki Oasis Adventure: A Day at the Car Show

Just when we were wondering if Darb's Tiki Oasis Adventure had ended after a night of wild partying Saturday night he turned up again on Sunday and spent the day hanging out at the Car Show.

I asked on the Tiki Oasis Facebook page if anyone else had seen Darb and David Davis ( the manage of the Car Show) told us that he had found him hanging out on the 6th floor and was nice enough to take him to the Tiki Car Show where his adventure continued. 

 Thanks David for keeping the fun going.
