Today I attended a toy soldier show at 1st Division Museum at Cantigny (Wheaton, IL), with my niece and nephews.
I picked up the K&C Panther and FOB 20 set at retail. No, Trophy
.
It was small show maybe 10 dealers. Admission is only $5.00 per car. You get to see the museum and tank park for that price. For anyone who attends the OTSN, Cantigny is worth the trip. It is only 1/2 hour by car from the OTSN.
The exhibit hall presents the history of the 1st Infantry Division from the Revolutionary War to Desert Storm. The exhibits are hands on, you walk through a WWI trench, sit in a landing craft and land on Omaha Beach, walk through a WW II winter battle, the jungles of Viet Nam and more. After that you can walk through the tank park which has an extensive tank and artillery collection.
The pictures are of my niece and nephews, the tank park, and pictures displays at the museum.
