On Saturday I went to the free autograph signing(s) at the Eagles Pro Shop (Rockvale Outlets, Lancaster). Alternate plans with the family have kept me from attending the event over the past two years. But, this year the schedule was clear, and the weather couldn't have been better. Appearing at the event were current Eagles, Brandon Boykin, Riley Cooper, Earl Wolffe and Jon Dorenbos. Not a bad lineup for a free signing - and the crowds showed up!

"Outside items" were allowed to be signed and in preparation I printed out a bunch of 8x10 photos. My son brought his football - and couldn't have been more excited to meet the players. The guys were scheduled to appear in staggered groups of two, with a cross-over at 1:30 so I planned to get there toward the end of the first to take advantage of a shorter line. The plan worked, and I was able to cycle through the Boykin line twice. The second session was a little slower, as Cooper and Wolffe were about 20 minutes late and the Cooper line grew to several hundred people long. All in all the crew kept things moving and it wasn't that bad of a wait.

Next week the party moves to Cherry Hill where Tra Thomas and Malcolm Jenkins headline another autograph event. I have details posted here...
