We’re already nearing our first public event! Come out to Good News Brewing at 131 S High St in Jackson to enjoy some brick oven pizza, drinks, and board games (and maybe more). The whole family is welcome.

We didn’t get pictures-again-during our Volunteer Appreciation Game-night & Dinner, but we wanted to say big thank you’s to Wat's Smokin' BBq & Wat's Knots Pretzels Mobile and Catering & Roni's Mac Bar - Cape Girardeau, MO for providing the meal which was thoroughly enjoyed by all!

As I reflect on the convention I want to echo the thank you’s that I said at the convention.
Nicolette and I both want to thank all of our volunteers. The HGC wouldn’t and couldn’t exist without you; your passion and tireless efforts amaze me every year.
We want to thank specifically all of GMs, and those who ran events of any kind. Our convention is so unique because of the array of individual events we have each year!
My wife passed on a comment from one of our vendors: “We’ve created a family.” To all of our vendors, thank you for bringing your best and being such wonderful people to work with.
To all who attended the HGC; from those who have returned from one or both other years to those who came for the first time this year: thank you for playing a pivotal role in growing this convention.

Most of all, we want to thank our families. We wouldn’t be able to do this without their support and encouragement.

Thank you all, and we cannot wait for HGC ‘27…though we may very well take a short break before we start on it!

Much love,
Chris & Nicolette
