Retro Con Parts/Trade Night!
For those staying over night at the Hilton Garden Inn (Retro Con’s Official Hotel) I plan to have a parts/trades night for the fans! For those that have never been to one, you basically get a chance to trade and sell your extra toys to fellow fans.
I plan to have some goodies myself for sell!
The time will be set after the before party Friday evening from 1o:15pm to possible 11:15pm, although it may run over a bit. Location will be posted the day of, in the hotel lobby!
Lets make it a fun night of fan fellowship and lots of retro goodies!
