Comments: Midwest Garrison/Rebel Legion had a table set up in the hallway, just outside the event ballroom, along with all the vendors and raffle tables. We were present for the entire event, posing for pictures at our table. We also roamed the floor a little bit, but space was tight at this venue, and moving around was difficult.

Four of our troopers made up the team "Vader’s Fist" for this event, getting shaved for donations to the St. Baldrick’s charity. Our team raised $925 dollars this year for the event, contributing to the $128,145.51 total raised. The four members were brought on stage to the Star Wars theme, and shaved in costume. We then posed for entire troop pictures on stage. We also promoted the Tommy Strong initiative, taking several photos holding the Tommy Strong sign. Special shout out to Jeffrey Lee (Team Leader), Rex Fett, Mike Mathews and Chris Robinson for going out, getting the donations and braving the shave! Ken Goluszka also gets a special nod, for getting shaved at a different Baldrick's event this same day.

This was our second year being involved with this event. Event organizers were very pleased with our presence there, and we can expect to be invited next year.
