Special Projects:

Created a local event for 4 years before the department was dissolved to increase customer traffic, which also encouraged enthusiasts to share their love of the Breyer Models with others. I was able to secure Nobel II, an actual horse that had been cast as a model, owned by CorTijo Val Moor for appearances as support for the event from the second through fourth years.

Secured Ginger Kathrens, author of Cloud: Wild Stallion of the Rockies, for a one-time book signing event.
