Biography:
Owner Brad Curry has been involved in the toy industry for over 15 years.  After moving back to his hometown of Monticello he convinced his wife that there was a need for a toy store filled with people that had a passion for toys and the impact that toys have on a child’s life in central Illinois. Bee Active Toys opened for business in 2007 and features over 7000 items from more than 300 of the best toy manufacturers in the toy industry. He holds a BS degree in Education from Eastern Illinois University and is very interested in how the toys and games we play with affect the way we learn. His wife Trish graduated from SIU and has 20 years experience in corporate training. Her main interests right now are mainly in making sure that Brad and their 4 kids pick up their toys when they are done playing.
