Earlier this year we sent our amazing roving reporter Barbara Pavone off to Thailand to check out Thailand Toy Expo and report back with the details. She caught up with event organizer Jeep to find out how he turned what was almost a disaster, into a well established and respected international event –great insight into why you should never give up, even when the odds are against you!
