Members of OSWCC headed south last weekend for the annual Kentucky Star Wars Collectors Club Fall Festival. The Fall Festival is a state-wide get together for members of KSWCC to socialize, sell items, win raffle prizes, fundraise and have a day of Star Wars themed family fun. Members of the Ashland, Lexington and Louisville groups were in attendance, as well as artists and other special guests. The OSWCC crew would like to thank KSWCC for welcoming us and letting us participate in the event. It was a very smooth event, and a great time was had by all.  For more information on KSWCC, go to www.kswcc.com.

OSWCC participates in John Williams Cincinnati Pops concert

Mark and Anthony Daniels

The South Region of OSWCC was pleased to join Anthony Daniels and the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra this past weekend for two nights of the John Williams Spectacular. This concert series was especially meaningful due to the recent passing of Maestro Erich Kunzel, and featured a heartfelt video tribute from Mr. Williams himself. There was a selection of pieces that were arranged by the late conductor of the Pops during the first half, followed by selections from all six Star Wars films during the second half. Anthony Daniels hosted the Star Wars portion of the program, and was humorous and engaging as he told the story of the saga. OSWCC had a table presence both nights in the lobby, and passed out information on the club as well as some free merchandise. It was a great experience, hearing the music from the movies performed live is absolutely incredible. Check out photos from the event here.
