We have GREAT guests year after year, some new, some returning .With their amazing talent and wonderful advice and stories in the workshops and panels. There’s also our Hall costumes as well as our Costuming contest. and our Drum Circles on Friday and Saturday nights (it’s amateur friendly). We’ve got bellydancing too! We’ve got Friday Night Rocky Horror! And all sorts of charity donating opportunities. We have two scholarships to give out for writers and artists that are about to graduate highschool and further a career in the field. We’ve also got the pleasure of having the state of VA’s chapter of the 501st Legion attending our Con. Stormtroopers, Vader, and more! A great group of people with great costuming advice for the Star Wars Fans. We are always looking for more people to come out and hang out, meet and just have fun with. Anyone with that same genre passion/fandom as we have. And hey, if you feel the urge, help us out with making the convention great for years to come!
