Interested in Joining in Downers Grove

Post by VisitHoth »

I've seen several appearances by the Midwest Garrison at the annual Thanksgiving Day Parades downtown and am interested in signing up! Unfortunately I am next to useless with my bare hands and am really intimidated about the costume build process. (Ideally, I think I'd like to go ANH StormTrooper or RTJ Biker Scout) Especially given my size, 6 foot 2, 245 lbs, are armored costumes the wrong way to start? I'd love to speak with someone about these thoughts.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your interest in our group!
All costumes can be scaled to size so whichever you choose will work.
If you want more details regarding stormtrooper costumes, you will want to sign up at whitearmor.net They specialize in TK armor.
If you are interested in the Scout costume, sign up at 501stpathfinders.com
We will have a booth at Brickworld in Schaumburg this weekend, June 14-15 and have people on site that can answer all your questions. If you can't make it, take a look at other events we have coming up and stop by one of them and we can explain the process to you and set you on the path.

Thanks for the response! Unfortunately, I am bedridden recovering from surgery and won't be able to make the event you mentioned but I will keep my eyes open for events once I am up and mobile.

Thanks again
