LPWire: 3rd Annual Pin Trading by the Pond Event in June
3rd Annual Pin Trading by the
Pond Event
Dayton, Ohio ~ Saturday, June 25 and Sunday, June 26, 2005.
Tom Tumbusch, President of Tomart Corporation,
the publisher of Disneyana Update Magazine and the Pin Trading Guides, is
pleased to announce that the 3rd annual Pin Trading by the Pond event will be
held in Dayton, Ohio on Saturday, June 25 and Sunday, June 26, 2005.
This year's activities will be hosted by the (Dayton) Plane Crazy Chapter of the
NFFC, the club for Disneyana enthusiasts. Individual sponsorships will be made
available as additional details are determined.
Like last year, Saturday will be devoted to pin trading and games. Sunday will
be a strictly Disneyana show & sale of pins and other collectibles. All events
will be held in the same spacious 10,000 square foot space in the Town & Country
Shopping Center that was used last year, located at the corner of Far Hills
Avenue (Ohio S. R. 48) and Stroop Road in south suburban Kettering, Ohio, about
five minutes north of Interstate 675 (exit #4).
Once again, the official pin trading hotel will be Hampton Inn South (I-675,
exit #2), 8099 Old Yankee, 937-436-3700. The tentative group rate is $79 per
night and they will provide a complimentary hospitality suite for pin traders if
we book enough rooms under the NFFC block. Ask for Emily if you have any
questions.
On Saturday, pin traders will have an opportunity to visit the Pond at the home
of Tom Tumbusch, in small groups, to trade with a special pin Board and meet
Tom.
Several different pin games will be scheduled throughout the day. A pin trading
area will also be available on Sunday.
There will also be a children's pin trading area like last year and a television
for kids to watch Disney movies.
We are hoping to soon be able to announce a special guest or two.
A special limited edition event pin will be available at a nominal cost to the
first 100 people attending the event.
There is no cost to attend pin trading activities. Parking is free. Vendor
tables for Sunday will be available at a cost of $35 per table which includes
two chairs. Admission to the Show & Sale will also be free.
