Details:

Imperial arrival at the venue was between the hours of 0930 and 0945, and armoring up was completed in time to provide security detail for the cake stall.

TK7931 and TK50180 took first detail, making sure the people behaved themselves while shopping, and didn't go into a sugar-fueled frenzy at the sight of all the home-made cakes, cookies, muffins, jelly, crepes, slices, and more.
Shortly after, the security detail made it's way to the sausage sizzle to ensure that the food was being cooked to regulation standards (it was... and it was tasty!).

At 1130 the troopers retreated to their staging room, where TK7931 was replaced by TD4943 for the next detail. It was discovered that many of the locals were enamored with the presence of TD4943, and thought that the condition of his armor meant that he actually did more work then the TKs (pfft, what would they know!). The security detail decided it would be worth scoping out the rest of the store to ensure no rebels were hiding. No rebel traitors were found, however one overly enthusiastic employee chased down TD4943 and insisted on a photo.

At 1230, TK50180 retired, leaving TD4943 in the capable hands of the support team in order to swap places with TK7931, and the security detail continued. It was in this third shift where TD4943 obtained his new name for the rest of the event: "Mr Star Wars", given to him by a young local boy who patiently waited for probably 30 minutes for his mum to come so he could get a photo with the might of the imperial troopers.

At approximately 1330-1400, the security detail signed off, taking with them a sampling of the fine cakes and jelly, provided to them by the local employees.

All in all, a fun little event with a nice little sum of money raised to assist Hummingbird house in it's efforts to help terminally ill children.
