VINTAGE STAR WARS TOY EXHIBIT AT LITTLE CHUTE LIBRARY OPENS
When Star Wars hit the movie theaters in 1977, it instantly became a box
office smash, especially with children. Kids wanting to bring the action
home from the theater with them could find their favorite heroes, villains,
creatures and spaceships in miniature size on the toy shelves. From 1978 to
1985, Kenner Toys manufactured hundreds of action figures, vehicles, and
playsets featured in the movies Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, and
Return of the Jedi. These toys today are as iconic as the movies
themselves.
On view now is "The Nostalgia Awakens" - the largest public display of these
original Kenner Star Wars toys ever in Wisconsin, at the Gerard H. Van Hoof
Library, Little Chute, Wisconsin. The Star Wars toys display will be on
view during library hours until February 28th. Admission is free. The
Gerard H. Van Hoof Library is located at 625 Grand Ave, Little Chute, WI
54140. For More Information call 920.788.7825.

Awakens" exhibit of Star Wars vintage toys may email:
