Rate the Con
Our new thing for 2024 is to ask our readers to take a poll on some basic components of the con. We want to know how you rate the parking, the vendors and the food. The poll closes after 30 days and we will use this as a baseline for next years convention. We plan to keep a rating system set up for many of the conventions.
[ays_poll id=137]
[ays_poll id=138]
[ays_poll id=139]
We realize that these don’t apply to all conventions, so if they don’t apply to your con, give them a 5 star.
**Later additions to the rating systems will include things such as guests and ticket prices**
One of the highlights was the Cosplay Masquerade, where talented cosplayers showcased their incredible costumes and performances, celebrating creativity and craftsmanship by bringing beloved characters to life on stage. They had several categories of participations with Chibi being for those under 15. Beginners to advanced costumers could participate and be judged on craftmanship and how well they portrayed the characters.
