LATONIA, Ky. — The greatest birthday tradition in the Tri-State is back in action. Kids of the '80s and '90s remember the excitement receiving the near-holy castle key as their birthday approached.

That key would open a castle nestled in the corner of the iconic Latonia toy store. Needless to say, it was a pretty big deal. Johnny's Toys closed in 2009 and with it went the beloved Birthday Club.
