About 25 kids showed up for the story which was read by the organizer of the event, Rose. She was extremely friendly and helpful to us leading up to & during Reads Day.
After story time the kids made paper star fighters and attempted to 'blow up' the Death Star by throwing them through the exhaust port. She'd made a large Death Star with an opening in it and hung it from the ceiling.
Most of the employees and some shoppers wanted pictures and asked about the event, Rose was excited about everything and wants to plan additional things in the future. Overall it was a great experience and our friend has started working on his first costume. Also met a 501st member from Boston that had just relocated. Definitely going to do this again next year!
Here we are with Rose.
Another friend took more pictures but I haven't seen them pop up anywhere yet. I'll post them as I get them.
