1.

We will be kicking off a Kickstarter campaign very soon, with the goal of doing a complete restoration of the Trad’r Sam sign so that she can glow for many more years to come. We will have fantastic rewards from hand painted Trad’r Sam signs, to pins, T’Shirts and more.Be on the look out.

2.

As part of the Kickstarter, we will also be doing a mini documentary on the history of the bar, its cultural significance as well as its place in tiki culture.

3.

Once we complete the fundraiser, we will be having a lighting ceremony to celebrate all of the hard work and backers of the project.
