Do you like trinkets?
Do you like those nifty badge ribbons you see other wearing?
Do you make candy bracelets for all your favorite fandoms?
Do you like to give out freebies because gifting is your love language?
We are back and better then ever. Welcome to year 2 and we are expanding! We now have a bonus hour of fun!!
Come hang out with me on Thursday, July 17th at 8-10pm at the Con Center Garden.
There will be badge ribbons, trinkets and more!
Everything is voluntary. You can participate with or without bringing items to exchange.
RULES:
#1 - Be kind.
#2 - Don't swarm. Give everyone space to meet.
#3 - NO Lewd or suggestive objects.
#4 - NO FOOD. To put it simply, food allergies. Wrapped candy is acceptable.
#5 - Declare if you are trading or giving freebies.
#6 - DON'T LITTER! There are trash cans.
#7 - Have Fun!!
QUANTITIES:
This is just a suggestion. I would bring enough trinkets/badge ribbons to hand out/trade/swap for 50-100 people.
