The West Coast Toy Soldier Show
The show was a hit! This past Sunday in Garden Grove, CA e had the best turnout since 2018. Over 350 attendees plus over 100 dealer tables. We also had a Bunker Hill wargame in 28mm and a group of reenactors displaying in the lobby. We had a big crowd all day long . Most dealers said they had an awesome show and had a blast. We had about 20 dealers partake in room trading. The traffic wasn’t as busy as we had hoped but we all had fun socializing. Steven Chong from San Fran and Tom Dubel from MD were a great help to me as was ‘New Hampshire” Joe. I couldn’t have pulled the show off without them. Woody (the former promoter) was also a big help. He ran the raffle and used his loud voice when needed. His niece Emily was also there and helped at the front desk. It was nice to see old and new friends. The weather was horrible, lots of rain and snow in the mountains. Joe and I were able to stop at the USS Iowa on the way down from the Airport. I was hoping to hit some sights in LA but our flight was delayed 3 hours. I think that was the only day it wasn’t raining. We took the red eye home on Sunday. Sadly missed our connection at 7AM on Delta and spent 13 hours in the Detroit Airport. Luckily I had access to the Delta Sky Lounge. What a show and what a Monday!

Look up West Coast Toy Soldier Show on Facebook. I posted a bunch of pictures there.
