11/8/14-Mini Comic Con-Vernon Library, Lincolnshire

Post by TKvanB »

Four members of the Midwest Garrison were on hand for the Vernon Area Public Library's "Mini Comic Con" event held on Saturday 11-8-14.
Much fun was had by all who attended this first-ever event at the Library!

The library staff & volunteers all dressed up in different super hero t-shirts & costumes for the day.
The library was really, really glad that we were able to come out today! :)

.............and that's for impersonating us on Tattooine and slaughtering all of those Jawas!


The library also had a photo-booth set up where everyone could make use of funny accessories & get their pictures taken. :)

I set up a display of a selection of my dolls at the library several weeks prior to the event. The library was so excited to be able to display my dolls that they purchased display cases just for this!

I brought the rest of my dolls and set them up for the day, along with my Yoda and my dress form with Quincy's Hufflepuff student uniform.

After we suited down, I changed into my Ravenclaw student uniform and read my new Star Wars Costumes book in the library! :)

I will be returning to the library at least twice more in the next few weeks. On Tuesday (11/11) I will be switching out the dolls that are on display with the others. The dolls that are currently on display (at Vernon) will be moving to the Niles Public Library. The dolls are generating so much attention at Vernon though, I will exhibit (part II) there for a few more weeks. :)

I set up "Part II" of my doll exhibit at the Vernon Area Public Library today. This exhibit of 16 Star Wars dolls, will be up at least until late next week. I will be setting up a selection of my dolls, the ones I took down here in Lincolnshire, later this weekend at the Niles Public Library to generate interest for their "FanFest" which will be happening later this month.

The four cases of dolls on exhibit in "Part II" of the doll exhibition at the Vernon Area Public Library — at Vernon Area Public Library.

I made one case the "Tattooine" case with my Tusken Raider doll, ANH Luke Skywalker and the 2 Jawas.
I made another case the "Imperials" case with my Imperial Officer doll, the Pink Snowtrooper doll and the Bikerscout & TIE Pilot dolls.
Image
I made the other 2 cases "Rebel" dolls.

The library ordered these display cases specifically so they could display my dolls at the library. I want to make sure that they can enjoy them there as long as possible. :)
