Thank you, Richard, for mentioning the Toy and Game Inventor of the Year Awards! November 21st will indeed be a very special evening. As Tim Walsh, Master of Ceremonies for the dinner as well as game inventor, author, filmmaker and consultant, www.theplaymakers.com, says, “If you sell 1 million books, you are on the NY Times Bestseller List. If you sell 1 million CD’s, you are on the cover of Rolling Stone. But if you sell over 100 million toys or games, no one knows who you are.” No more! We are grateful to our generous sponsors for the evening – Hasbro as our Presenting Sponsor, Mattel as our Supporting Sponsor and Playthings as our media sponsor. Without them, this evening could not be so special. This is a night filled with top name presenters and speakers such as Richard Gill, the mind that made Trivial Pursuit and Pictionary household names, and Reyn Guyer, the inventor of Twister and Nerf. Tim will be showing a preview of his toy industry documentary. This is one of the top events associated with the Chicago Toy and Game Fair this year. We hope everyone not only nominates their favorite inventor, but also attends the dinner to honor our industry’s soul. Make your reservation soon as there is limited seating, the MCA space is intimate. Please contact me if anyone has questions, info@toyandgameinventors.com. Mary Couzin
