This was a fun event. We had great turnout from both the 501st Legion and Rebel Legion. This was the first year back at the Niles library since before Covid. The staff was very appreciative that so many people came to the event. The library made a generous donation of $250 to the Second City Canine Rescue on our behalf. Everyone was very helpful in supporting the table, recruiting new members and taking pictures. Big shoutout to Kristen's husband and friends (potential new members) that provided support for us.
The library has already invited us back for the event in 2026.
