Toy Soldier Show

Last Sunday was the West Coast Toy Soldier show in Irvine. The show began with some re-enactor groups marching through the show. The Delawares were there as well as a few guys from the 23rd. Some Zouaves were also strutting their stuff.

Pretty much after the march to kick off the show, we did nothing but setup a table and try to get recruits. Almost everyone that walked by was told about the big event coming in April to the Reagan Library and I am hoping that we get a good turnout there. A lot of the kids coming through the toy soldier show were impressed with our uniforms and our muskets. In fact, a few kids even asked if they could buy our stuff.

Those of you interested, there are a few toy soldiers out there that look like Fusiliers. W. Britains makes a set that is three soldiers from the 23rd Grenadier Company as well as some 23rd officers. They look pretty good and at some point I will be picking them up.
