IL-Braidwood - Star Wars Reads Day Fossil Ridge PL - 10/6/12

[Vadersblade]

Members of the Midwest Garrison were able to attend the second annual Star Wars Day at the Fossil Ridge Public Library in Braidwood, IL. Coincidentally, the event happened to be scheduled the same day as Star Wars Reads Day! The Force was guiding our hands that day!

Despite the initial event co-ordinator retiring shortly before the troop, everything went smoothly. The troop was short but sweet. We posed for pictures, signed autographs, did some Q&A about our costumes and Star Wars, and also helped out with some trivia for the kids. A great time was had by all.

The library also very awesomely donated $100 to Make-A-Wish in the name of the Midwest Garrison!

Great job and many thanks to the troopers who made the drive out, sputtering starships and all!
