Let me see what I can do. My work schedule is odd, but I’ll try to be to one of them. Any suggestions on costume you’d like? I’ve got a few….

Not sure,

I would say whatever it is, keep it comfy because we'll be walking around in the grass and you'll want a chance to pet Doggos, so i'm thinking Kylo?

I think Kylo would be great becuase we will have Rey!

Good day team,

Just a quick update, if you plan on being there, we will meet at the parking lot located right across the way from the event. It's the easiest place to be for the event. If you can't find parking nearby (and it will fill up fast!).

Additionally i will be there around 7.30am. So if you guys get lost or need me to wave my hand I will be there to help flag you down.

I'll be costume support and photog for this event.

If you have any questions or need to reach out to me, feel free to call me on my phone: 224-221-4358
or message me on Facebook Messenger or text me.

Thanks all, I'm looking forward to tomorrow.
