I miss the Carson training camp, I live in Long Beach so it was very close. Fan apprieciation last year wasn't very good because they only signed autographs for kids 12 and under....they should include EVERYONE!

Will anyone be able to gets autographs at FanFest this year? I took my nephew to it when it was in Carson, but it was cool to get signatures myself as well.
