MAGIC CRYSTAL VALLEY
|
|
In 1989, MAGIC CRYSTAL VALLEY, (the name) came from
imagination, fantasy and the love for our collection of Cabbage Patch Kids About Us. “MAGIC
CRYSTAL” comes from the Magic Crystals that Bunnybees sprinkle on the cabbages to make Cabbage Patch Kids grow. “VALLEY” comes from where the Cabbage Patch Kids live. MAGIC CRYSTAL VALLEY, (the store) first opened in 1991
as a place to adopt secondary market Cabbage Patch Kids and buy C.P.K. memorabilia. At this time we started using the name for our collection and store. In 1994, MAGIC CRYSTAL VALLEY (the store) became the only licensed Official Cabbage Patch Kids Adoption
Center in Maryland. On April 1, 1995, we hosted the largest adoption event ever held by an Adoption Center. By the end of the millennium we were one of the last Adoption Centers
still operating when they all were discontinued by O.A.A., the licensee of the Cabbage Patch Kids. On February 14,1999, we opened MAGIC CRYSTAL VALLEY, (the museum) in Leonardtown, Maryland. MAGIC CRYSTAL
VALLEY now is a 3,000 square foot log cabin that houses our collection of over 4,000 Cabbage Patch Kids and in a 400 square foot connected area there are thousands of C.P.K.
memorabilia items. Although the Kids and memorabilia are always on display the areas change as we acquire more Kids and memorabilia. A visit here will give a Cabbage Patch Kids collector
an exciting and memorable time. The tour starts with every C.P.K. Convention Kid, Side
Kick and accessory from 1989 to present day. As you venture though the isles of Kids you will see them displayed in order by year with the Original Kids along side of the Mass
Market Kids. There are displays of specialty Kids in their own settings such as Christmas Kids, Collectors Club Kids, Special Event
Kids, Clowns Astronauts, Baseball Kids, Japanese Wedding Sets and the Toys R Us Kids just to name a few. Private tours are available throughout the year by
appointment only and the Kids love to have their pictures taken. The tour is available to all Cabbage Patch Kids collectors free of charge. Once a year we host an event for C.P.K.
collectors called SUMMER ADVENTURE, which is held the first weekend in August Summer Adventure 2 Pictures. Our events have brought together collectors from all
across the U.S. and as far away as Belgium. We do have Kids for adoption and memorabilia for sale Adoptions,
Memorabilia. MAGIC CRYSTAL VALLEY is located in the sprawling
farmlands of southern Maryland, two hours south of Baltimore, Maryland, two hours north of Richmond, Virginia and two hours east of Washington, DC. Local area sites include PAX
Navel Airbase Museum, Historic St. Mary’s City, Point Lookout state Park and MIR raceway. There are many hotels and restaurants within ten miles of our location.
