Bookmans Store Appearances 8/22/09 & 8/29/09
To help raise funds for the Step Out to Fight Diabetes
Walk on September 26th, the Arizona Ghostbusters teamed up with the local store chain Bookmans Entertainment Exchange. Bookmans specializes in new and used books, games, and music and is a great place to
find many rare items. August was Movie Madness month in the store and each weekend had a different movie themed event. In
honor of the 25th anniversary of Ghostbusters, the chain had us appear and set up a booth at two of their store locations.
The
first store appearance was at the Phoenix location on Saturday August 22nd with Matt H, Christina, and Neal in attendance.
The second was at the Mesa location on Saturday August 29 with Cody, Neal, and Jeff. At each event, a small booth was set
up with diabetes walk information, ghost candy, and small marshmallow bags. Our teams and the store employees handed out free
raffle tickets to customers in the stores. The raffle items included both store merchandise and Ghostbusters collectables.
Both store appearances were heavily promoted but we were still quite
surprised to find lots of families waiting for us. We had some of the largest turnouts of families with children yet. Many
of the parents told us their children played the game first and then wanted to see the film. I’m happy to report one
of our biggest little fans won an original Real Ghostbusters Ghost Popper toy. Seeing that certainly brought back some memories.
The store made a generous donation of $200 for our Diabetes walk team. We’d like to thank Bookmans and organizer Lori
Whipple for these great opportunities to interact with fellow fans and for the donations.
