!*!*! Nationals Opening Reception !*!*!

The 14th Nationals in Oak Brook, Illinois kicked off with an opening reception and the first autograph session. The food items for this opening reception provided the attendees with a good variety of items, which were excellently prepared and one of the better selections in recent conventions. Once again Rick Tippe kicked off the convention in style providing a great commentary of events to come throughout the course of the convention. Here are a few pictures from the opening ceremony and the first autograph session.
