Neighborhood Toy Store Day

Toy stores across the country will be celebrating the joy of play during Neighborhood Toy Store Day on November 12, 2011. Children's World is celebrating early due to a staff event on the 12th. To launch the holiday shopping season with community-minded fun, ASTRA members throughout the nation will host special events at their stores.

The festivities will highlight local talent and bring neighbors together in the spirit of giving. Last year’s programs included crafts, entertainers, scavenger hunts, and charitable donations. Through Neighborhood Toy Store Day, customers see that specialty toy retailers are more than just stores, they are a central part of a vital community.

Local stores have knowledgeable staff, offer special services like gift-wrapping, help preserve a vital downtown, and reinvest their profits in your community. Give us a call to find out what we have planned for the big day!
