Our Comfort Inn club functions the weekend of the Chicago Toy Show have been resounding successes and far exceeded our expectations. The events brought in collectors and dealers from all over the country as well as from England, Germany, France, and other countries. At each event there was at least one new collection for sale from those that heard of the event.
Our event will include refreshments, displays of vintage and new "Matchbox" models, a swap meet, raffle door prizes and some surprises. We ask that each club member bring a “Matchbox” product to donate to the raffle. We want to make sure everyone goes home with something new for their collections.
