TIME: Event: 5pm-7pm/In Costume: 4:30pm-6:30pm

Annual May the 4th celebration
PARKING: Free street and lot across the street or staff parking
CHANGING AND STORAGE: we have large staff bathrooms
COSTUME REQUESTS: all are fine
BLASTER POLICY: Blaster and lightsabers are fine.
MEMBERS' CHILDREN IN COSTUME: Yes, children in costume are welcome to attend
OTHER DETAILS: Annually, we host a large May the 4th celebration for the galaxy's best characters and fandom. We offer games and prizes for attendees. Because of COVID, this year's event will be outside (our library is surrounded by a City park). Staff and 501st Units, however, will have access to the building before and during the event. Here are some of the activities we have planned. • Welcome tent, issuing new Baby Yoda library cards • Pool noodle light saber making • Lightsaber training with bubbles • Scavenger Hunt/prize stickers • Photo booth on Library stairs • Music
We've been grateful to have units visit during our May the 4th events before. We welcome all - The Rebellion, Empire, Republic, Mandalorians, Hutts, you name it. We have yet to figure out how to accommodate Rancors though. Thank you for your consideration, and may The Force be with you!
ANYTHING ELSE: While we won't be serving food at this event, water (bottled & a filter station) is available for units. Restrooms in public and staff areas are available - those in staff areas are private, locking, and offer enough space for costume changing.
The mayor and other city commissioners will be at the event.

I’m keen to go as TK or Rex, but I’ll need someone to have my 6. Anyone want to help me out with this one?

Sure thing! I was also eyeing this event, but not keen on going to it alone. I'll wear my Tie Pilot.

Awesome, thanks Nellie! I’ll go classic and do my TK then.

Teamwork, for the win! Garrett, I have a sweatshirt for Nellie that I'll give you at the Doernbecher troop, so you can pass it on. Thanks!

All situated here. We've got access to the staff rooms for changing/bathrooms.

Roster final. Fun troop, sounds like they want to have us back next year. Beware of younglings with foam lightsabers, they tend to attack in groups :D
-
One thing I’ll reflect about this troop is that the kids with pool noodles were a bit much. Before considering this event a second time, I think I’d request that the pool noodle kids be contained to a roped off area.

Yeah, good call. Sounds like a spotter would have been a good addition to this troop!
