We need to leave the lobby by 6:45 pm so guests can get seated as the performance starts at 7:00 pm. We will need spotters to help guests line up for pictures and cut them off when it approaches 6:45 pm.
As these events also are on the same days as FanX and our FanX dinner, please schedule your time wisely. We will need costumed characters are both locations.
There will be a secure changing location at the Symphony or you can walk over from FanX, if you are already kitted up. This is an official LFL event, so LFL rules apply. No costume modifications.

What we will be doing: We will be helping launch the Darth Vader and Yoda Balloons every day (weather permitting) with the troopers of Bantha Canyon Base and Dewback Ridge Garrison (mandos and galactic academy from there are also visiting)

Changing accommodations: At the caravan parking area at the field- typically we all park and change together after we have been in the park early morning to eat and play a bit in our civilian clothes. Water is provided by the balloon team and bathrooms are provided on site.

How will you know you will love this event: Do you like fancy fish balloons? DO YOU LIKE 4 AM CORNDOGS ?? Do you love going to gigantic world renowned and highly photographed/videoed events?? Do you like meeting new and awesome people from all over the world and troopers from multiple states? Then this is the troop for you!

Notes: I will have a ton more info to come for all of you about how sign ups on the Bantha/Dewback forums work … But please get hyped for this event and come for a few days if you can- start putting in your reservations for hotel and PTO from work if needed.

If you troop 3 days in costume you can get a special coin that is not available outside of this event this is limited and availability is there for only the first 100 troopers that complete this (they go fast!). Last year was amazing and I would love to have more of you come along with me. I will be flying down Oct 4 and staying until the 12th locally with my detachment leader. You will need to figure out your own travel arrangements, but otherwise you are all welcome to come and you will love everyone you meet at this gigantic world renowned event. There is also usually a giant dinner Monday eveninghosted by a garrison family there and I believe we would also be invited to that- I will check with the Hosts 😉 More on that later.

For more information please reach out to Lynnae Nelson.
