We are planning a meet and greet happy hour at the Hilton on Friday, November 16th, for those who arrive early or want to chat after they've settled in. On Sunday November 17th, join us as we sight-see in St. Louis, potentially including a trip to the Eugene Field House & Toy Museum, which features a large assortment of antique dolls! You can also take the opportunity to visit many of the free museums in St. Louis!
Dollysitting for Dollies!
Having trouble trying to figure out which of your dolls will have to stay home? Do you want to bring the whole collection, but can’t haul it around the whole day? Check your doll in to the Dollysitting Room and reclaim it later.
