Hey everyone. I’ve been busy this weekend doing some house cleaning. But not as busy as Richard Kraft of Sherman Oaks. This past weekend Kraft has been auctioning off much of his Disneyland nostalgic collection, ranging from posters to attraction props and even actual ride vehicles. Prior to this weekends auction Kraft set up a free pop-up gallery in Sherman Oaks, some who even dressed and acted the part of their favorite Disney characters.
Kraft plans to use the money raised through the auction to make donations to two charities that benefit children with special needs.
Here’s my collection of pictures, no particular order, that I was able to snap during my visit on August 12th…
The man himself, Richard Kraft, greeting many an eager fan and capturing the moment before the gallery opens
Of course I had to bring DodgerMickey…Lead the chorus…LETS GO DODGERS !!!
She seems very attracted to you DodgerMickey…
He’s greeted many a guest entering one of these People Movers. Hey, how ’bout bringing back some of these and using them from Union Station to The Ravine. We found the Blue and Yellow ones. Now to find the Orange and Teal…
“It’s a World of Laughter a world of tears…It’s a Small World after all…”
Dumbo playing with his favorite mouse, uh, second favorite mouse behind Timothy Q… Dumbo ain’t afraid of this mouse…
Of course…We can never separate these two…
I actually had several people come up to me as I was taking my pictures of my DodgerMickey statue. Of course they wanted to know if I bought it at the gift shop by the entrance. I’ve had the DodgerMickey since 2010 and of course being among Disney and Dodgers fans it was only natural that folks would want one of their own DodgerMickey as well…I guess it would only be natural that two of our favorite’s would make such magic together…Now if only that magic can continue on through October…
