Please remember when coming to the toy show that you may park in the parking garages. The world wide tech parking garage is available also the clock tower garage. We were as shocked as everyone else about losing 2/3 of the parking lot due to construction.

We'll see how this works out:
Our vendors have a LARGE variety of farm related merchandise. I invite our vendors to chime in on what they have to sell!
