A Force to Be Reckoned With

Wow! The annual NASTC conference was out of this world! Darth Vader, a Storm Trooper, our Office Manager, Shelly, and I had a great time meeting all of the attendees. Our theme? “Let Our Force Be With You!”, which was based off of this presentation about our services.

We served Edible Ewoks (Teddy Grahams), Hans Rollos, Asteroids (Hershey Kisses) and Luke Skywater to those who visited our booth. We also had C3PO H20 and Warrior Water for those who preferred a different ‘brand’. Shelly and I dressed as Jedis and we loaned our light sabers to new friends so they could get photo ops with Darth Vader.

We all thought the dinner and the keynote speaker were incredible; with one exception. As you’ll see from the photos below, Shelly really got into her character and kept it going throughout the conference. As I took the first bites of our main course, she asked me: “How is your Wookie steak?” I decided to play along. “To be honest”, I replied, “It’s a little Chewy…”

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so I’ll finish this post with 10,000 of them. Enjoy! And, speaking of “Forces”, Happy Veterans Day to all who serve or have served in our Armed Forces. Read more about our personal heroes here.
