Comments: This was the second of 2 events that occur each year, the 1st was in April. This toy show has been going on for 40 plus years & has a wide range of toys such as dolls, tin toys, action figures, diecast, memorabilia, & much more. If you like toys this is the place, because you are bound to find something that you can't live without that will make you relive your childhood.
This time we set up a table with some helmets, props, & recruitment information to explain what the 501st is all about. We have a standing invite to do the same at future events.
Diane Tabin & Herb Regan have treated us so well & the show patrons & vendors love to see the action figures come to life. This was a fun event.
We arrived at 8:30 & were ready to troop at 9:30 & were there to mingle & take photos with the people till 2:00.
