Total Sports in Rossford will host the first ever Toledo Toy Show on Saturday, Oct. 10 from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m.  Over 150 tables will feature Nascar, Hotwheels, Star Wars, Matchbox cars, Tonka, Pez, dolls, trains, tractors, sports cards, slot cars, models, comics, tin toys, action figures, diecast trucks, cartoon characters and 100’s more. 

Total Sports is located at 10020 S. Compass Drive in Rossford, directly behind Meijer on State Route 20.  Admission is $5 per person with kids under 12 admitted free.

Jerry Dorer and his wife began hosting and promoting toy shows 16 years ago with their first show at the Jackson County Fairgrounds.  They expanded their efforts in Michigan to include the Grand Rapids Toy Show and also took over the Jackson Antique & Flea Market Show growing to a total of seven shows a year.  The Dorers came to the Toy Show business naturally having sold diecast cars as a vendor.  “We are hoping to have a great first time show in Northwest Ohio,” said Dorer, who noted that the toy shows have grown over the years and turn into sell out shows every time.

Social distancing and masks will be required unless you have a medical condition that prevents you from wearing them.  Vendors will be spread out and hand sanitizer will be available. 

Total Sports provides plenty of free parking and food trucks will be setup in the parking lot near the entrance to the building.  Like ‘The New Toledo Toy Show’ on Facebook or visit the website at www.midmichigansupershow.com.
