  Hey all, We are heading into Memorial Day weekend. We give thanks and honor all who paid the ultimate sacrifice and gave their lives to defend our freedom. I am off to San Antonio tomorrow. There is a lot of history there and usually a big presence of current armed forces personnel in the area. The show is Saturday and Sunday. I look forward to walking the river walk and the Alamo Chapel. Next month marks our 25th anniversary. I am planning some events for June. Stay tuned. We have added Battletech, Crisis Protocal Bolt Action and Magic The Gathering events to our Facebook page and put some signs up in the Store. Stop by, email or check out our events. https://www.facebook.com/hobbybunker2/events We are running the Chicago Toy Soldier Show this September! It will now be called the "Chicagoland Toy Soldier Show!" We hope to see you there. We will be sending out more information soon. I added the hotel link below if you want to attend and book a room.
