On May 28th, 2016, Kylo Ren and a 501st Clonetrooper made their way to the Macktown Forest Preserve in Rockton, Illinois to make sure that Empire Palpatine's great, great, great, great (x10000) grand nephew was on the correct path to take over and continue on the path his ancestor set on. While there, the two witnessed that he was indeed on his way to succeed in continuing Emperor Palpatine's grand plan and stayed to document the occasion with the many in attendance using their various devices to capture several images each.
The birthday boy was dressed as a stormtrooper. We came down to "interrupt" the festivities as all of a sudden the Imperial March played as the father addressed those in attendance. There were several SW themed food items for those in attendance (Oreo TIE's with marshmallow rooster, Yoda sodas, chocolate covered pretzel lightsabers). We were there for about a half hour as the heat and humidity made it difficult to stay in character without melting. The father has shown interest in becoming a member, but is hesitant due to price.
Earlier this week, the father of the birthday boy made a $50 donation to the Wounded Warriors' Project.
Troopers in attendance:
5365 Jen Loomis- 501st trooper
7956 Anthony Day- Kylo Ren
