"1st Annual Gettysburg Toy Soldier Show" Topic

Hopefully this will be back in towen next year, even bigger and better!

The grayness of the website can't be beat.

Personally, the Blueness of the site speaks to me.

Is there a mailing list so that I'll know when the next one comes along, where, admission prices, etc.?

I stopped in on Sunday afternoon with my wife and two kids.
The event was held in the Gettysburg Hotel which is right in the main town square (traffic circle). Admission was $5.00 USD each for my wife and I while my 7 & 9 year old kids got in free. The total show area was roughly the size of the dealer area at Historicon and Cold Wars. Parking is a breeze with a parking garage right behind the hotel. My 7 year old son won the "Children's Door Prize" ($25.00 in show money) and made off with a large bag of Marx(?) Dinosaurs. We then popped over to the new battlefield visitor center. It is open now but not completely finished.
We weren't there long but it looks pretty nice. I cannot wait to go back and check it out in more detail. It did feel funny to drive by the old visitor center and see it all closed down and dark. There were even large bird nests in the lettering on the front of the building. It may be an old wart of a building but having been thru it dozens of times in the past 40 years it is sad to see it go.
