Description of Event:
This was a birthday party for Jacob. Jacob is a huge Star Wars fan & always wanted the 501st to come to his party. The Carolina Garrison/501st made his birthday wish come true.
We arrived on scene, set up “blast a trooper” area and staged a lightsaber dueling area. Characters then dressed out and entered. Once the party began kids were handed lightsabers and duel with Vader, interacted with characters and then played blast a trooper. Before we knew it it was a full out nerf battle ... somehow Legacy TK Jennefer Dawson shot Darth Vader and was a laced under imperial arrest by imperial officers.
Overall we had a great time and so did the party guests.
