Market Place
Doll E. Heaven is probably the more appropriate name for this event. At convention
this is what it is all about. When dealers and convention ere meet. The anticipation,
excitement, hustle, bustle and thrill of the hunt as you walk endlessly aisle after aisle
to find that special doll that calls out your name.
The sheer magnitude of having all of your doll needs centrally located is breathtaking.
