Chicago Toy & Game Fair Invites Girl Scouts!!!

The Chicago Toy & Game Fair invites all Girl Scouts and Brownies in uniform
to attend this exciting event free of charge! We support community Scouting
organizations.

There are opportunities to obtain badges. For the Girl Scout Inventor Badge
and the Junior Girl Scout Toymaker Badge, we have our Young Inventor
Challenge. Your toy/game Invention is not needed until the Fair opens Nov
21st. Watch our website for more details to come www.chitag.com/YIC and

 for a list of prizes and more to be listed soon!

TOY DRIVE
Please bring (or purchase at Fair) new toys/games for a toy drive being
conducted by the Toy Industry Foundation. The Toy Industry Foundation (TIF)
works to bring joy and comfort to children in need through play. TIF’s Toy
Bank collects toys for boys and girls who may be sick, or homeless, or who
might have lost their belongings in a disaster. A new toy will bring a
smile to their face and let them know that people care about them. With
your help, we can make sure everyone has the chance to play.

The Chicago Toy and Game Fair showcases hundreds of companies and thousands
of products from around the world including Australia, Asia, Europe and
Africa.  Raffles, tournaments, prizes, live entertainment, Educator Forum
for CPDU credits, Star Wars Clone Wars Breakfast, Star Wars Droid Hunt,
Stage events, free game playing featuring the coolest new board games from
Europe's famous Essen Fair, costumed characters, Radio Disney and more.
Events for all ages.

Meet the Inventors of toys and games like Daryl Hannah and Hilary Shepard
(yes, the actresses) inventors of Liebrary, Reuben Klamer inventor of the
Game of Life and hundreds of other toys and games, Leslie Scott from the
U.K. the inventor of Jenga and many many more inventors!
