IL - New Lenox - Star Wars Museum - Sat-Sun, Dec 7-8, 2013

Post by darthikari »

This event was the third Star Wars Museum event at the Martino Junior High in New Lennox. Created by a pair of teachers who happen to be huge fans of the saga, and with the support of the school's student council, the event raised funds and donations for Toys for Tots. Held over two days, the school's common areas were filled with games, exhibits, refreshments, and the films themselves, which were shown on the main gym's movie screen. The turnout was great, the kids enthusiastic, and the event raised $1,200 in cash - not counting the piles of toys that the attendees brought with them! The "museum" will be taking a one-year hiatus, but they plan to return in 2015, just before Ep7 hits theaters!
