K&C West Coast Event? (1 Viewer)

[marksable]

Does anyone know how to sign up for the K&C event at this year's West Coaster? I saw the Sierra thread below, but it seems like that was for the 2009 show.

Any other events that one can sign up for?

Thanks,

Mark

King & Country event @ The West Coaster toy soldier show.

Sierra Toy Soldier Company has hosted a King & Country event for the past five years. We typically do this twice a year, one at the West Coaster and Chicago. The West Coaster event which we sponsor has grown and includes appetizers, a talk by King & Country co-founder and creative director Andy Neilson, and a special figure exclusive to the event. The event starts at 6.30pm on Saturday 27th.

Collectors will need to reserve their place in advance by purchasing an admission ticket so that we can plan for the proper number of people, and no one is left out. Please note space is limited so please reserve early. This year the admission price is $15.00, payable in advance. Every Collector who attends will also receive back a coupon worth $15.00, redeemable either at the show or afterwards towards any purchase from us.

To order just contact us at sales@sierratoysoldier.com - subject ticket.

Tally Ho,
Marc

Thanks, Marc! This will only be 2nd time attending, and really last year I just stopped by for an hour. I'm looking forward to actually meeting collectors/Treefroggers this year.

Just give Sierra a call to confirm. They always send out a receipt so you should have gotten that. The actual show is on Sunday. There are vendors that show up for the show day only but most of them have camped out in the hotel the days prior so you more than likely will not miss out on too much.
