The dolls were so special that some Edmonton businesses even went out of there way to cater to the doll crowd.
Downtown, the Chateau Lacombe Hotel held its second annual Cabbage Patch Kids Birthday Party on Sept. 8, 1985, complete with a banquet-style meal and giant birthday cake.
"Dolls should be treated like people," one girl at the party told CBC's Kas Roussy.
Funds raised from the event went towards the Northern Alberta Children's Hospital Foundation.
