Steve Rhea reviews the Second Annual Texas Toy Soldier Show
In May of 2007 Nick VerSteeg, proprietor of Toy Soldiers of San Diego, did a great service for the collector community by organizing the first ever Texas-based show for toy soldier collectors. The second annual show was held in San Antonio on May 24-25, which is the Memorial Day public holiday weekend in the US. The show was held in Bolivar Hall in the La Villita district of San Antonio, which is now a public plaza where numerous old buildings from the Spanish colonial period are preserved and serve as shops, offices, restaurants and exhibition spaces. As one of the oldest cities in Texas, San Antonio has a rich cultural and military history, is the site of the Alamo and numerous other Catholic missions, and has several military bases located nearby. Since active and retired military personnel make up a large part of the collector base, this makes San Antonio a perfect venue for the show.
