This is a wonderful event i do think you will all enjoy. Thanks David for reminding me to put this on our calendar. I will be attending on both days, from opening to closing because 2 of my best friends will have a booth. You are more than welcome to pass by and say hi. I will place the event to start at 6:00am but again you can go at anytime. I will be at the Battlefield Live Laser Tag game booth, so I look forward to seeing all of you.
