Three days ago I had business in downtown Steubenville & ended up having an hour to kill, so I went to Old Fort Steuben with my camera & couple of klickies; I took the nutcracker & the colonial soldier from Series 14. The Fort hosts a Nutcracker Village at Christmastide, & the soldier looks a little like Baron von Steuben, for whom the original 18th c. fort was named after. The current mayor of Steubenville is a man who has been key in creating the current Fort park & museum, & he was there when I walked in. He's met me before, & after I took pictures, I asked him if he knew about Playmobil, then showed him my 2 figures. He was delighted, & the director of the Fort came out & he showed them to her. I had to write "Playmobil" on a piece of paper for him to be able to look up more about it.
Of course, after I thought about it, Ir realized that giving him a nutcracker would be a good thing to do, so I'm dropping off one of my extras to him this week. Here'are the pictures i took that day.
