We recently joined the great Lakes Garrison at an event of theirs in the Grand Rapids, Mi. area. The local AJ's Family Fun Center hosted a Star Wars Day to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation:

The young Padawan and myself!
The Garrison had set up a photobooth, a blaster range and the Jedi ran a Jedi Academy class. I assisted at the Academy.

The students borrowed training lightsabers from the academy and when they had demonstrated the basic moves we instructed them on, they graduated and recieved a "Diploma."
We also tried to instruct some Troopers on the proper way to handle a lightsaber, but unfortunately, they failed miserably.....

I also made my way over to the photobooth between classes:

My Padawan also tried his hand at one of those "uncivilized" weapons at the Blaster range:

I think he got him....
We then played a round of mini-golf:

I thought I'd try my own "putter" for this shot:

and practiced at the Blaster Range:
