March 24th and 25th the Midwest Garrison added their presence to the Family Time Kids Expo at the Tinley Park Convention center. It was our first time at this event, which is in its eighth year.
The overall reception was wonderful, as children and their parents alike clamored for photo ops with the troops. There were a wide range of vendors and activities both inside the center as well as outside where a climbing wall, petting zoo, and pony and train rides were available. Those who were in attendance on Saturday were treated to the epic-ness of witnessing “The Coruscant Express” featuring Darth Vader!

Steve (Mammem) did submit his TK...
I guess he doesn't have a number yet?
I will use his hours as well.
Anyway...
Thanks for all of your efforts on this one Robert...I know that you had to "go it alone" part of the weekend...but you stuck to the plan.
