Art and Cosplay Contests!
*A Mini-Con is a small-sized convention that hosts graphic artists, voice actors, actors, games of all kinds, activities, contests, and vendors in one location. These miniature conventions usually focus on some sort of fantasy/science fiction, “geek/nerd”, or popular culture fandom i.e., Anime/Manga, Comic Books, Video Games, Star Trek/Star Wars etc. They are a place for people to meet, discuss, and celebrate all of the things that they like in a welcoming and non-judgmental environment.
*Free comic books handed out until supplies are gone.
