We're Heading to Play Fair 2017 (and you can too!)

James and I are headed to our first Play Fair and we couldn’t be more excited! Play Fair, the ultimate play experience for families, is taking place November 4&5 at the Jacob K. Javits Center in New York City. The weekend promises to be filled with fun interactive experiences, larger than life displays and opportunities to check out the latest and hottest toys for the holiday season. This year’s Play Fair will be double the size of last year’s event, which means more play time for all attendees!

More than 40 exhibitors will be on hand including Cartoon Network, Hasbro, Just Play, K’NEX, LEGO, Midtown Comics, ALEX Brands, Moose Toys, Spin Master, The New York Doll Company, Toys “R” Us, VTech, Kvellix, Inc. (NUTSO) and WowWee. See firsthand which toys, games, and entertainment will be the biggest hits this season, just in time for the holidays.
