Relaxnews, Wednesday, 26 January 2011
The final event, the American International Toy Fair in New York from February 13-16, also honors innovative toys in the Toy Of The Year (TOTY) awards. Consumers and industry professionals vote on the best new toys in 11 distinct categories; the winners will be revealed at a ceremony on February 12 before one toy is chosen to be the overall Toy Of The Year. Now in its 108th year the event attracted over 1,000 exhibitors and 25,000 attendees in 2010. Though this event is open exclusively to trade professionals, members of the public can follow it online via Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/toyfairny), YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/user/TIAssociation) and Twitter (@ToyFairNY).
