Prizes, Snacks, Specials Bring Collectors to National Hobby Shop Day

Some free food, free prizes and other promotions drew collectors into about 40 hobby shops across the U.S. on Saturday.

GTS Distribution sponsored the first ever “National Hobby Shop Day”, providing autographed memorabilia, supplies, packs and other incentives for collectors to visit a store in advance of the holidays.

Some shops provided their own promotions and sales to draw customers.
