Celebration VI in Orlando Florida (8/23-26th)

Celebration Vi saw many changes for us and the Foundation. 

We had our first event and rolled out the PMF in grand style with the help of Jeff Kent and the 501st Garrison!

Fran and Kevin McGarry and their son Shawn renewed their vows and Peter got to play Wookiee of the Bride! You should stop by and see them at  Acme Comics and Collectibles in Sioux City, Iowa.  

 I guess weddings were in fashion because we also got to see Becky and Jon (SithKnowsHeart) get married in true Sith style following the 501st Group Shot!

 Skye Paine, owner of the online Chewseum sponsored the awesome rare collectors coin for the panels and then let Peter cut his hair for a donation to locks of love! Next time we either need better scissors or softer hair!

 Jeff Kent and the Shoot A Trooper event helped us raise more than $9000.00!!

 Then it was time for the Princess Leias and for some reason Daniel Logan!

We were so impressed with the hard work put in by Albin Johnson and the Galactic Academy! They raised $375 in one hour! They also inducted Peter and our good friend Jeremy Bulloch as honorary members.

Earlier this week Gary and Joyce stopped by the house. They were in town from New Orleans. Gary is the CO of the 501st Bast Alpha Garrison from down south. We will be in New Orleans for Wizard World later this month.

One of the best times we ever had was riding in the Mardi Gras parade with these guys! When Mardi Gras includes a trip to the Children's Hospital, life is good!
