11/30/19 - Small Business I Had That - Belleville, 62220
Having a business down on main street in Belleville provided a bunch of shoppers in the area. Which in turn delighted and surprised them when they saw the troopers in front of the store. Lots of photos were taken and the patrons left with big smiles on their faces. Troopers for the event were as fol...

08/03/19 - Mascoutah Homecoming Parade - Mascoutah 62258
On Saturday, August 3rd, the vintage toy store I own called "I Had That" put a float in the Mascoutah Homecoming Parade. The crowd was very excited and we were met with quite a few cheers and several gasps from children and adults. The turnout was great with the residents even with the heat. I appre...

06/30/18 - 7pm - Wedding Reception - Sparta 62286
Three troopers and a handler were available for this event. During the reception, the bride surprised her Star Wars loving groom by having us escort her out to him. All of this was done of course with Star Wars music in the background. As soon as the groom heard the music, he got excited, but little...

05/04/18 - Star Wars Day @ I Had That - Belleville 62220
Scott Holder and I trooped at I Had That Vintage Toy Store in Belleville, IL on Star Wars Day. With the store being located right on Main Street, a lot of people pulled over and took their photos with us and then came into the shop. Thankfully we didn't create any traffic accidents, but there were s...

08/5/17 - Mascoutah Homecoming Parade - Mascoutah 62258
On Saturday, August 5th, the vintage toy store I own called "I Had That" put a float in the Mascoutah Homecoming Parade. I've lived here for 17 years and I was very confident that our parades have never seen the likes of a Star Wars float, so I decided to have the 501st join me in promoting my store...

FS: Private Signing W/ Mark Dodson-Voice of Salacious Crumb
Hey everyone, I am going to be doing a private signing with Mark Dodson on June 10 at my vintage toy store. Mark was the voice for Salacious Crumb in Return of the Jedi, Teek (it's one of the photos he provided, so I assume he did the voice) in Battle for Endor, and Cratinus from Force Awakens. He a...

Weather was great, the day of the week not so much. With the game being on a Tuesday during the school year, our turnout was a lot lower than normal as far as the crowd goes. We did have a nice turnout for troopers though! All troopers trooped for about 2 hours. Troopers on hand were Luke Naliborski...

I did this alone, but it was fine. Only had to troop for about 30 mins. The kids were really excited, and the smile on the birthday boy's face was priceless! He even gave me a tour of his room so I could see all his star wars toys! He'll have a story to tell now to all his buddies that he had a Sand...

A great day for all at Slackers. We stood out front along the busy 4 lane road doing our best to cause traffic backups. We drew a lot of people into the store because of us, so that was good for the business. Cops went by twice, but no issues. We did raise a $10 donation to MAW. Troopers on hand wer...

Sorry so late on this. I was unable to attend the event, so I wasn't sure who all made it. I did speak with the theater after the event and they were thrilled to death with how well it all went. I am not sure which of these are from the 70th, so I apologize for that. scott holder-tie pilot - 373 cha...

This was our fifth time at the fest and I think it was one of our best ones we've done!! Unfortunately we only had two troopers there, but it worked out well. We raised a total of $193!!! for the Make a Wish Foundation! Troopers on hand were - The times listed were times spent trooping. Luke Nalibor...

It was hot....we'll start with that. There was a good turnout for this one. We took a lot of photos and made a lot of kids and "kids at heart" smile! We managed to last about 5 innings, but then the heat reared it's ugly head and we had to call it. Scott and I then sat at a table in the concourse wi...

May 16th was yet again another successful Walk for Wishes with the Make A Wish Foundation! We battled rain that day unfortunately. They did have us under a tent which obviously helped keep us dry. And since we are now part of Disney, we even got pictures taken with Elsa and Ana! This event ends my 4...

Unfortunately, I was on my own for this troop for the first hour and half. It was a lot of fun though and the crowd really enjoyed it. There were a ton of kids there and most were not very shy about coming up to me. Reinforcements arrived at about 7ish and that meant even more photos with people who...

Although Twilight had just relocated to a new location that week, there was a huge crowd in line for the event. Unfortunately the store is a quite a bit smaller and there wasn't an area for us to change in, so we had to change outside. I am sure the $200,000+ Subdivision homes got a taste of the loc...

Our second FCBD Troop of the Day. It was a bit later in the day and although we missed the initial rush, we were able to draw a lot more traffic into the store. We stood out front the whole time and as cars would pass by, you would see brake lights and then the car would park and a group would run o...
