(About 1 1/2 hours from the border - you'd pass it on the way to Toronto)

 

I got to be his table helper for a shift Sunday morning at CIV, he's a real nice guy!

 

He was a great guy! I spent quite a bit of time with him... I stood over his shoulder for "background" since my costume is being a Sandtrooper... Was a great story hearing how it was Sir Alec Guinness that made it so he was in the armour! totally unplanned...

This event is getting bigger every year... and more and more young kids coming!

By shear coincidance there was a young boy's birthday party in the hotel... Star Wars themed... so we all got together and crashed the party... They were blown away!!! one little trooper was telling me how he plays "me" (the Sandtrooper) in the video game he plays... awesome! They were all in Star Wars costumes, so cute...

 

Great news Dan, I'm sorry to have missed it!

 

Sounds like a good time!
