Once Upon a Toy & LagoonaMagoo Toys Neighborhood Toy Store Day Plans!

Plotting...  Planning...  All we need is you to make it a party!  Here are the events we've cooked up for Neighborhood Toy Store Day on Nov. 13, 2010

LagoonaMagoo Toys at the St. Louis Mills:
10% of sales on Saturday, November 13, will be donated in toys to Toys for Tots.  Start your Holiday shopping early and pay some joy forward.  And Cody Cassiday, a seriously talented Yo-Yo Dude, will be by to amaze and thrill us with his yo-yo tricks from 2pm - 6pm.  We’ll also have free face painting throughout the day (call the St. Louis Mills LagoonaMagoo Toys at (314) 227-5335 for exact times)

Once Upon a Toy in Edwardsville, IL:
It’s a Giant Rubber Chicken!  In our Parking Lot!  Come get a picture taken with our infamous Giant Chicky from 10am - noon.  Rope n’ Ride, from Granite City, IL, will bring Ponies to the party from 1pm - 3pm.  Cody Cassiday, our favorite Yo-Yo Dude, will also be appearing at Once Upon a Toy from 10am - 1pm.  And can’t forget the face painting--  that will be happening from 11am - 4pm.

LagoonaMagoo Toys in Fairview Heights, IL:
Ponies!  We’re going to have ponies (thanks to Rope n’ Ride!) for your kiddos to meet from 11am - 3pm.  The Giant Rubber Chicken will migrate from Edwardsville to Fairview Heights for photos with your favorite goofballs starting around 1pm - 4pm.  Face painting will also be happening from 11am - 4pm.

We're looking forward to seeing everyone on Saturday for Neighborhood Toy Store Day!

Dear Play-Friends--
Our family game nights are taking a break. Subscribe to our Twitter feed (http://twitter.com/HappyUpToys) or follow us on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/HappyUpInc) to find out when we start them up again!

Thank you so much to everyone who came out to play with us!

Schedule for July's Game Night @ the St. Louis Mills Mall LagoonaMagoo Toys

You're invited to come play with us at the St. Louis Mills Mall location of LagoonaMagoo Toys!  Our family game nights are a great chance to get out and play your favorite games.  Or maybe discover a new favorite.  Or rediscover one you haven't played in eons.  If you have any questions, feel free to give the playful folks at the store a call:  (314) 227-5335

We play every Friday from 6:30pm - 8:30pm.

• July 9 - Dweebies - Round up Dweebies by matching cards on both ends of any row. Seems simple at first... but Dweebies can be tricky, and some will disappear before they've met their match! Collect the most cards and consider yourself the Dweebie-in-Chief! Ages 8 & up
• July 16 - Golden Gate - Golden Gate is an exciting card game combining a bit of luck with strategy to start piling up your points. Cards are played in sequence, progressing up or down. Gold cards help you collect chips, but the red cards may cost you! Ages 7 & up
• July 23 - Spot It! - There is always one, and only one, matching symbol between any 2 cards in this game. Spot it and you win! With only 8 symbols on each card, small details (like the size of the symbol) matter. The challenge increases as new cards are revealed in this fast-paced game. Ages 6 & up
• July 30 - Pigsup - How quick and precise are your fingers? Find out as you build piggy piles in this lively stacking game. And there is more than one silly way to stack up your piggies. Be the first player to get rid of all your cards to win! Ages 4 & up

More Chances to See the Yo-Yo Dude!

Cody Cassiday, local Yo-Yo Trickster, will be coming back to visit our stores.  Stop by and say hello!
