December 20, 2009 - Toys For Teens Best Buy

I've been remiss in posting about the last troop we did in 2008 mainly because the next day started our bout of "Getting Nasty Sick for the Holidays". Still, the good thing about it was the trooping debut of my Wifey, Mrs. TB 2719.



That's right! That's her in the TIE Pilot costume. She's the perfect TIE Pilot. She can stand ram-rod straight at attention like a pro and she stays in character much better than I do.


The day started harmless enough. I woke up this Saturday morning with a bit of a cough so I started on the Cold-EEZE and the Airborne. Turned out the day became quite rainy and the cold turned out to be not just a cold, but that's another story. We've been working on getting the TIE costume together for a little while and this was the first time busting it out in public. It's still not 100% finished but it was definitly ready for a public debut.

The event was for Toys For Teens in cooporation with the US Marine Corps. Our job is to raise awareness for the cause and get folks to come out to the store. And this being the last weekend for shopping before Christmas, the people were indeed out and about. And we got a great load of donations for the cause.


It was a great turnout and a great event. Thanks to Jester and Best Buy in Kennesaw, GA for hosting and we'll see you next year!

I don't really remember. I'm just glad we are both not sick anymore.
