May 4 Star Wars Day Discovery Place Charlotte NC

Post by TD-2606 »

May the Fourth, Intergalactic Star Wars Day. This year the Carolina Garrison was invited out to The Discovery Place in Charlotte to participate in their Star Wars Day celebrations as they explained the science of Star Wars. Visitors built their own lightsabers, watch and participated in Sub Zero: Hoth Edition demonstrating the effects of sub zero temperatures, and Fire It Up: Alderaan where Darth Vader himself blew up Leia's home world. The troops also experimented with a bed of nails, flying with air pressure, tug of war with various pulley systems, and a sonic cannon. Over a dozen troopers were on hand to help in the demos, take pictures with the crowd, and lead the costume parade. Visitors, both kids and adults, showed up in their finest Star Wars costumes and apparel.

Troopers Attending:
1. Jerry Sienkiewicz (Darth Vader)
2. Jason Boyd (Sandtrooper)
3. Derek Nieman (Tie Reserve)
4. Todd Hoyle (Tie Pilot) & Dalton (Tie Reserve)
5. Tom Gardner (Tusken)
6. Brian Dudas (Blackout Clone Trooper)
7. Matt Mascorro (Sandtrooper)
8. David Jordan (Biker Scout)
9. Mandy Jordan (Tie Pilot) & Scotty (Jawa?)
10. Jon McClay (Boba Fett)
11. Andrew Rochelle (Stormtrooper)
12. Ken Jordan Jr. (Biker Scout)
