On February 26th, 2011, members of the Wisconsin Garrison joined forces with members of the Nar Shaddaa Base and the R2 Builders Club for the Active Kids Expo presented by Lite Rock 92.1. The event was held at the Sturtevant Sports Plex in Sturtevant, WI.

Star Wars fans were all smiles once they saw the various characters walking the Expo. Characters took part in playing with kids in the corn box, hula hooping, Irish dance, and even modeled a purse or two. Many photos were taken with adults and children alike. We also had a small tattoo table where kids could choose their favorite. All in all, it was a very successful event. Thank you to all who made this event a very special day!
