Convention 2008!


Members, mark you calendars!
August 22 - 24th, 2008 East Aurora, NY


A Celebration of Toys - Schedule of Activities

Once again, it's that time of year for the Fisher - Price Collector's Club to get together! The dates are the weekend of August 22-24, 2008. But there are some big changes this year. We are sad to report that the Toy Town Museum and East Aurora will no longer be having Toyfest. So no parade, no rides, no festival, though (we think) the antique car show is still being held on Sunday. To read more about why the Toy Town Museum is no longer holding Toyfest, click this link.

But the club will still be getting together, having our annual dinner, and even the sale, too! With no Toyfest, what will take place instead is an antique toy sale at the Toy Town Museum, on Saturday and Sunday, with many of our usual vendors. This new event is part of what the Toy Town Museum calls "A Celebration of Toys". With the 2-day sale planned, the club will not be holding the "swap" sale this year. As in prior years, we will be holding our annual dinner as planned on Saturday night. See below for all the times of the events!
