2008 Toy of the Year Awards
Filed under: Places To Go, In The News, Toys, Gadgets, That's Entertainment
The Toy Industry Association held their annual Toy Fair in New York City from February 17-20, where exhibitors bring forth thousands of new and innovative products that will soon be hitting your store shelves. This exhibition is the largest toy trade show in the Western hemisphere, but is not open to the public - you have to be a toy retailer, manufacturer, distributor, or the like to gain access. Such a shame, I always thought this would be the coolest thing to attend.
The fair is kicked off with the Toy of the Year Awards, which, in their own words, are designed to "salute the creativity, success and playful spirit of the toy industry by honoring the best toys developed by the international toy industry for North American consumers."
