While the event will run from 10-4, we do not expect characters to be available for the duration. We can discuss how long and what time the two character photo op blocks will be. We'll have a designated changing area and lunch for everyone once again, and we respectfully request that all characters be PG as this is a family event.My Comments:?? Our contact has put this request in really far in advance so we've got plenty of time to schedule it; I'll be looking to confirm or deny our participation in February or so. This year we split the day into 2 appearance blocks and an extended lunch break, so I'll work out something similar for 2018. I really really enjoying doing this last time and I hope we can appear again Topic is for discussion of event.??

Chewy Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Quote Good morning everyone, ??I hope this finds you all well. Let me start by thanking you for joining us for this year???s SPACE EXPO! We???re thrilled to have the 501st??Legion CT Garrison and the R2D2 Builders Club of CT join us again this year, as you all have proven to be the highlight of this event in the past. This update contains important logistical information so please read the entire email, share it with other colleagues who are joining you next weekend, and contact me with any questions. This update also contains the following attachments: 1.??????????Driving Directions to the New England Air Museum 2.??????????SPACE EXPO Event Activity Listing 3.??????????SPACE EXPO Flight Event Floor Plan Arrival/Parking/Check-in: The New England Air Museum is located at 36 Perimeter Road in Windsor Locks, CT. Please follow the attached driving directions (not your GPS), else you may end up at the arrivals terminal at Bradley International Airport! When you pull into our parking lot, please proceed through the open gate located on the right side of the building as marked on the Event Floor Plan. Museum staff will be on hand to guide you to exhibitor parking areas behind the Civil Aviation Hangar. This entrance gate will close promptly at??9:15am. All group members must check-in with museum staff at the designated check-in location between??8:00-9:15am.This location is indicated on the Event Floor Plan. You will be given a green wristband to wear throughout the event which will notify our staff that you are a member of the 501st/R2D2 Club and therefore have access to our staff/volunteer break room. If you have colleagues who cannot arrive within this designated check-in time frame and you have not already provided me with their names, please email me by??10:00am??on Thursday April 5th??to add their names to our exhibitor late arrival list. Otherwise, they will be forced to pay admission upon their arrival to the museum. Exhibitors arriving later than??9:15am??will need to park in our main parking lot, enter through the main lobby, and check-in at the admissions desk to receive their wristband before heading into the event. Break Room/Lunches: Your groups will have access to our staff/volunteer break area located in the B-29 Hangar for the duration of the event. You???re welcome to store costumes, trunks, etc. in this space. Please help yourself to the buffet breakfast treats and lunch you find there. Additional food and beverage will also be available for purchase at our Kane???s Market Food Court on a cash only basis between??11:00am-3:00pm. Appearance Schedule: We have assigned a NEAM staff member to be your escort/crowd wrangler for the day, so she will be with you for the duration of the event. Your appearance times in the Military Hangar will be as follows:??10:30am-12:30pm??and??1:30-3:30pm.??You will be free to leave after your last appearance time ends, or you???re welcome to enjoy the event as visitors???if you???re not too exhausted! ?? Final directions for the Air Museum. I'm also attaching to this post directions to the museum (it's a bit tricky to get to if you don't know exactly where to go), a floor plan showing where we will be,??and the activities list for the day. Looking forward to seeing you all! @Depeche25??You may have to pay admission if you're coming in late - I'll talk with my contact tomorrow about it.??To everyone else - although I have already given a final list of our members participating to them, please feel free to still attend if you'd like. If you arrive during the 8:00-9:15AM window and are having trouble parking/getting admission as 501st, please call me at (860) 986-0338 and I'll sort it out. Please do not automatically expect free admission or easy parking if you cannot arrive during that window.
