In a last minute request from a father who met us at the Normal Public Library on Monday night, we were asked to come out to Coffrin's ATA Martial Arts in Bloomington. I arrived around noon and got suited up in one of their back rooms. Around 12:30, I was introduced to the kids I was asked to entertain. Most were excited, some didn't know what to think of the tusken that just walked into the room. After a few high fives and fist bumps we took a few group photos, and each child got a solo picture with me as well. After the pictures we watched a bit of Episode IV while some of the kids got a closer look at my gaffi and mask. I got one of the coworkers to take some pictures on my phone, but I'll have to wait for the contact to post the ones he took. A donation of $200.00 will be made to the H.U. Lee Memorial Foundation. http://www.huleefoundation.org/

Well done Tyler
