TIME: 12p-4p I know itll be tough to have everyone stay for 4 hours so were needing people to spread themselves out to make sure we have coverage for the entire time :cool:
CAUSE:
Christmas Storybook Land
Annual Christmas event, free to public & supplying food to Fish of Albany
PARKING:
Location is in rhe Cascade Building, with free parking behind the building (near the airfield)
CHANGING AND STORAGE: We are planning to set up a large tent for the changing & storage space near the bathrooms, we ensure this year we will have proper lighting and we will have someone watching the tent for security of belongings
COSTUME REQUESTS: We are happy to have any and all characters, appropriate for families.
BLASTER POLICY: Blaster and lightsabers are fine.
MEMBERS' CHILDREN IN COSTUME: Yes, children in costume are welcome to attend
OTHER DETAILS:
Over 140 displays for the public to walk through, trains, Grinch and Santa Claus.
ANYTHING ELSE: DIRECTIONS TO CHANGING AREA use the Exhibitor entrance off of Price Road - There is a little ticket booth there, and you'll drive through the opening on the right side of the booth. You'll see our semi-trucks parked behind the building. You can park along the airport fence, or between the semis. The SWO entrance has changed. It's now one of the doors further to the right - the entrance accesses the men's bathroom. (There will be a sign on the door.) The tents are right inside that door. There are two tents set up for your staging and equipment storage.

I'm in. This is a great troop.
But a tent for changing? The light might be better, but it still sounds like a downgrade.

I enjoyed myself last time. Put me down as Darth Revan not Kylo Ren.
-
As I write this, I am new in town and would like to attend as a TIE Reserve pilot.

Chantelle and I need to pull out due to a family get together that day. Terribly sorry. Hope you guys have a good time.
-
Ben (Garou) and I will be there as Jedi with a padawan.
-
Not on call this year. In, Gunner.
-
Jim, would you mind confirming if they're talking about the tent they had set up for the princesses to use last year? I tried to duck in there to change last year and there was no lighting and the tables set out to use weren't usable. Are we still able to use the area with tables behind the display like last year as an option? It was dim but a better choice.
-
Lori, Teresa and I have been in talks about this and she says the plan is to have the large tent set up near the bathrooms WITH LIGHT!!!!! lol she was really bummed to hear about last year but says shes taking matters into her own hands to ensure we have lighting :) shes a rock star!!!!
-
Is there a time frame for the event?
-
Sign me up at Luke Skywalker. Not sure if I'll go Bespin or Yavin Ceremonial. I can be there at least from 2 to 4, but may show up earlier.
Thanks,
Josh
-
I’ll do both shifts. One as Santa Kylo and one as Christmas Nihilus. Neither seem to be taken.
-
Update: I'm planning to be there as Porg Leader, and will probably show up between noon and 1 and stay as long as I can hold out.
-
Sign us up again, one of the best troops, Me and Melissa will be there as snowy or scout

I injured my back November 11th, and have been diagnosed with arthritis in my back and my knee. But, no surgery required, and physical therapy has already helped, along with God's miracle steroid Prednisone. I will see how a couple hours feels Saturday, but I think I'll be good for Saturday and Sunday. More to come.
-
I'm going to have to back out of this one unfortunately. I'm going to be out of town that day.
-
Unfortunately going to have to back out due to a new work schedule.
-
I'm in. I'll be going as an Imperial Reserve Pilot and or an Imperial Line Officer dependent on the Officers approval by tomorrow before the event.
-
After reflection, I'm going to withdraw from this and tomorrow's event as well. I need to focus on my physical therapy and not push it, I'd like to go back to work Dec. 16th. Driving is OK, for a while, and I don't want to find that 45+ minutes each way is too much. I will miss you all!

Do take care of yourself. Hopefully you get better soon too. Back injuries are the worst. See you next time when you are feeling better.

We'll miss you, but better to be a bit too cautious with injuries than to over do it and make things worse. Hope things heal up for you quickly.

Sorry to back out. We have a very sick doggie and can only get in tomorrow at 2. We were really looking forward to this one. Have fun everyone and we’ll see you soon!

I'm in to help spot. Planning to arrive about 11am.

Too bad we don't have any Officers at this one. It would be funny to have them do what Tally the Elf does and walk around with Santa's list to see who is Naughty and Nice. Although that might be a little problematic with Santa actually there, now that I think of it...

Hello!
I'm not going to make it to the event. Have fun!

I am bringing my officer in case my Revan has issues.

I was able to make it for a couple of hours. Good times

I've uploaded my photos to the gallery, and my Flickr album is here: https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjBZrCe
Sorry for the delay. My PC hit the dust shortly after the event and I had to set up my new one.
