Chicago has always been one of the largest cities in the midwest. Everything is great in Chicago, so it was no wonder in 1999 a small group of pin traders decided to form a group and trade Disney pins amongst themselves. As time went on and more people became aware of the hobby, the group grew. After 6 years, this group has grown from a small group of friends to a small family; bridging between Hawaii to New York, and Canada to Florida. We started trading at a mall and a small hot dog/pizza stand, to our current location at Fuddruckers in Addison, lL.
We all help each other out when someone needs something. We don't require dues and pins are optional at our meets. Some people just come to socialize and catch up with old friends and make new ones. While some people come with all the new pins they got while at a park during they're recent vacation. You will never know what to expect so it is always a pleasure to come and stay for 10 minutes or for some until they close the doors.
It seems someone is visiting one of the many Disney parks every month; so it became evident we needed to meet every month. Fuddrucker meets are held every 3rd Saturday of the month.
If you would like to be added to our e-mail list nothing more than your email address is needed. We don't sell our list and you will get weekly (sometimes daily) updates what is happening within the group.
