I almost missed this event. Thanks to the Happily Ever After Special Event page, I have time to consider.
The 2009 International Black Doll Show will be at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, 12th & Arch Streets in Philadelphia, PA on May 23 from 10am-5pm. General admission fee is $5.00 for adults and $3.00 for children under 12 and seniors.
Here's a PhillyFun blurb about the event. You can also contact Barbara Whiteman of The Philadelphia Doll Museum at (215) 787-0220 for additional information.
I happen to notice this on your blog. I have been to the show twice but thought it was more for handmade doll makers than for fashion dolls and action figures. There were a few people with older fashion dolls for resale. What was your experience? There doesn't seen to be a local fashion doll/action figure club either. I think there are a few in NY. There used to be a store in Glenside that did vintage toys. She closed last year. She now operates out of the back of another store. I haven't attended a Barbie convention but it is on the list of the things I want to do.
