Signing Event
Flamingo Fling
Tampa, FL

It has been announced that there will be two special ornaments designed by Dean available at the Fling.  For more info, check the Flamingo Fling web site.

There will be a special Signing Event piece, called "I'll Find My Way to You".  AND - there will be FOUR variations of this piece - one for each of the 4 Signing Events.  Each piece will have different color versions of the sign post.  Also - in Mackenzie's hand is a flyer, which will include the name of the location of each Signing Event.  If you can't make it to all 4 events, contact your fellow collectors, let them know which event you are going to and arrange to trade for the ones you can't get to!

BREAKING NEWS!  We just heard from Dean about the exciting opportunities collectors will have to add to their ornament, figurine AND PRINT collections!  For more information, just click here!
 

May 1, 2004 - 1PM - 4PM
Signing Event

Carlton Cards Store
Pottstown, PA  19464

So far, we've only heard that there will be Spring and Fall exclusives available.  Also - Carltons will have a special version of "The Season of Peace" (87/135) - the Abbey Press exclusive with Mackenzie tending to a lion and lamb.  Instead of the snow base, the special version will have sand, which matches the new Nativity Set.  We're sure there will be more news after the first of the year, so stay tuned!

Route 724 & 100 Bypass
Coventry Mall
Pottstown, PA  19464

May 15, 2004
Regional Family Picnic
Creve Coeur Park
ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI

This will be the first of the three "Regional Family Picnics" to be held this year.

To attend, you will first need to purchase the figurine "Family Picnic" - which contains the "2004 Picnic Reservation" form OR you can print it out from the Fitz & Floyd web site.  It cost $40.00 per person to attend, IF you want the special picnic exclusive "Watermelon Feast".  You can attend the picnic without getting the "Watermelon Feast" piece - cost is $20.00.

If you will not be attending any of the three picnics, you can order "Watermelon Feast" (using the Reservation Form), however, the piece will not ship until around September 2004, they will NOT be signed by Dean (like the ones at the Picnics will be) and there is limited availability.

June 12, 2004

European Imports
Niles, IL

European Imports will be the third Signing Event this year.  They, too, will have their own version of the Signing Event piece "I'll Find My Way to You".  Be sure to check out their web site for more information.
