Prior to the grand opening of the Toy Show, Patrick Kielty couldn’t contain his excitement.
“I am thrilled to announce that this year’s theme is the absolute Christmas classic, Fairy, The Movie.
“Gathering with the family to watch this film has become a cherished Christmas tradition in our household. I can’t wait to bring Buddy and the fairies to life in the Toy Show Workshop tonight.
“We have an amazing lineup of kids, fantastic toys, and delightful surprises in store for you.
“I truly hope you have as much fun watching as we are going to have making it,” he added.
