Summer Social 2008 is a wrap!

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008

A big thanks to everyone who came out and made the 2008 Summer Social a big success! Folks from all over Ohio (and even Kentucky!) made the trip to Cincinnati for a great day of Star Wars fun. There was a great buy-sell-trade area, presentations from Kim Simmons and Scott Simmons about their involvement with the vintage line at Kenner, prizes, gaming, food, an auction, raffles, and more! There were even a few Imperials and Jedi sighted at the Social. We hope you enjoyed the day with us, we had an awesome time hosting it. Some of the photos are here with more to come.

Summer Social Update: Location Change

Friday, July 11th, 2008
Due to some last minute unforseen issues, we’ve had to change the location for tomorrow’s Summer Social. THE SOCIAL IS STILL ON - We are just changing the location due to facility issues.

The Social will NOW be held at the Oakley Masonic Temple in Cincinnati - the same place we held it in 2005. The temple is easy to get to off of Interstate 71, and is very close the old The Earth Collectible Toy Mall and other great “must see” attractions.

Oakley Masonic Temple
3515 Madison Rd
Cincinnati, OH 45209

Here is a Google Maps link to the location - which you can use to generate directions.

Note you must turn the corner south onto Ridge Ave., and then turn left into the edition on Orkley Lane. Take another immediate left onto Orkley Avenue, and follow down to Madison Park Ave. The Temple and the entrance to the parking lot will be right in front of you.

We apologize for this last-minute change of location. I full explanation of why will follow shortly. Thank you for your understanding.

Two more days until Summer Social XI is here! We’ve got over a hundred people that have pre-registered, and it’s looking like it’s going to be a great time! The social staff has been hard at work getting everything put together for THE OSWCC event of the year. This year’s Social is sure to be a great time as there will be lots to do including a jawa marketplace sales area, special VIP guests, games, a Star Wars minis tournament, tons of prizes, food and much more. Log into the forums at OSWCC.com and sign up to bring a food item since there’s plenty of room in the kitchen.

The schedule for the Summer Social this Saturday is as follows:

12:00 - 1:30 - Registration
