US Event
« on: May 20, 2011, 11:50:42 »
Just a question for you guys that have been around Playmo longer than myself, has there ever been a Playmobil convention, fair or similar event in the US? I keep reading reports and seeing photos of amazing events in Europe and frankly, I'm a little jealous.  :'(

Join the club EmGee! :P
I thought of stating one in my local library since they have large rooms that they let people use.
I was gonna invite Bill since I know he lives close by(ish) and Bonnie I guess? :)
Also there are a few people in New York that I thought to invite also. (From GardenWargaming.)

But there are many more collectors in the West coast...
So I figure that if there will be an event, it will be out in California.

There are Playmobil train collectors on the west coast that set up displays in Washington State & other nearby locations, but an actual Playmobil collectors meet has never been done in the USA like those in Europe that I'm aware of. :(

That sounds great, but the problem is we are scattered all over the country making it difficult to show collections or traveling to one central location to meet. :-\

All my family is out in Washington. We try to make it out once a year. So maybe next year we might be able to make it out to the west coast  ???
