The Golden Age of Tiki in Ohio

The famous Kahiki Supper Club has been gone for 25 years. A lot of young folks have never even heard of the Kahiki. To the older folks it seems like yesterday they were enjoying the tropical atmosphere, the Polynesian music, and a Smoking Eruption, while the sound of a giant gong echoes in the distance.

Join authors Jeff Chenault, and Doug Motz on a historical and educational adventure called The Golden Age of Tiki in Ohio. This presentation will shed light on Ohio’s glorious Tiki past and also present an update on the people who are keeping the Tiki spirit alive! Learn about The Tropics in Dayton, the Kon Tiki restaurants of Cincinnati and Cleveland, and of course, the famous Kahiki Supper Club. Doug even has some new info on the lost recipes of Sandro Conti! This 60-minute visual feast is not to be missed! We will have a short Q&A after the presentation and Kahiki books will be available. Join us won’t you!


Stick around after the presentation for a meet & greet / book signing with authors Doug Motz and Jeff Chenault from 12:15pm- 12:45pm on the 1st floor.
