Comments: This is the first of 2 events that occur each year, the 2nd is in October. This toy show has been going on for 45 years & has a wide range of toys such as dolls, tin toys, action figures, diecast, memorabilia, & much more. This was the 10th time that the 501st had made an appearance at this event. If you like toys this is the place to be, cause you are bound to find something that you can't live without that will make you relive your childhood.
Diane Tabin & Herb Regan have treated us so well & the show patrons & vendors love to see the action figures come to life. This is always a fun event.
We arrived at 8:00 a.m. & were ready to troop at 9:30 a.m. We were there to mingle & take photos with the people till 1:30.
