Hello all been a long time! We have been dreading making this post...
Unfortunately due too capacity limitations still in place because of Covid-19 we will be canceling our 2021 show.

Currently our capacity would be limited to 300 total people in the convention hall at a time. Between vendors, guests, staff we generally have close to 200 people in the convention hall already. That doesn't leave much room for our guests. I am very sorry if we disappoint anyone this year but we look forward to having our show in the future. We appreciate everyone involved and will hopefully see you soon.

Any vendors that kept their deposits in from last year, we will be reaching out shortly via email to give options moving forward. Thank you again for you time.

Hey all we are already almost to our goal! In short we are raising money to buy prints from convention artists who lost income due to COVID-19 and in turn have those prints sent to kids!

If you know a child who would benefit from getting an amazing piece of art in the mail, please nominate one below and we will be in touch.

Artists, we need to hear from you! We are paying $25 for a print/commission work. For the $25 we ask you provide a quality art work of the character a child has selected and send it to them in the mail; that’s all! If you would like to participate please email [email protected].

Hi everyone. Today is our nephew Eli’s 6th Heavenly birthday. Last year, on his first birthday Heaven side, we started a day of random acts of kindness in his honor. This second year we are continuing it as tradition. We are reaching out to our community this year in an effort to spread joy to as many people as possible. Eli was the most compassionate, kind, fun loving boy and absolutely loved to bring joy and smiles to every person he met.

We have a few ways you can join in our efforts (see list below). We are teaming up with artists who lost income due to COVID-19 to support them in a time of need while providing prints of favorite characters to local children. We will be starting the effort by donating $250 to purchase 10 works of art.

1.) NOMINATE A CHILD: If you would like to nominate a child (does not have to be your own child), please comment below and we will follow up with a message for more information. Basic criteria for a nomination: between ages 4-12 and we would like it to be a child you know that could use some extra joy in their life, perhaps going through a hardship or struggle. (We will ask when contacted about characters the child likes to match them up to a artist.)

2.) ARTISTS IN NEED: We will directly buy a print or commission from participating artists for $25. We ask that all prints or commissions be of good quality and age appropriate. We will give a list of participating children and the characters they like to each artist. Artists will also be responsible for shipping the art to their selected child in a timely matter. If you are an artist and would like to participate, or even donate art, please contact us directly at [email protected]. Please provide examples of your work.

3.) MONETARY DONATION: There will be a fundraiser we will attach that will collect funds for anyone who just wishes to participate with a monetary donation to sponsor a print (or prints) for a child or children. Each artist will be paid $25 per print for the art and shipping cost.
Your donation would support an artist, as well as provide joy in the form of art to a local child or children.

Thank you so much for listening, and for your consideration. We have a wonderful community here, and hope we can reach as many deserving artists and children as possible with your help. 💙 Please Share with everyone and help spread the word!

I made something fun and a little more positive for people to share. What a great world it would be if we all thought about others, like the heroes in our Comics and Films.

Hello Everyone,

We had hoped very much to avoid this post, but we, like many other shows will be canceling this year due to the impact of COVID-19.
With the new announcement from the President of extended social distancing until April 30th, and the theory that we will start to see recovery June 1st poses too many unknowns for the show to continue and be successful this year. We are truly sorry to disappoint any of our fans/vendors/artists/sponsors/guests and anyone else involved with the show, but we hope you understand that this is an unpredictable situation that is impossible to plan for.
The obvious and tragic impact that COVID-19 has had and will have on not only us as a country but the world is cause enough for our decision, but it was not reached easily and we would like to share some of the challenges in trying to continue the show this year.

The physical, mental, and economic impact on not only our attendees but vendors and guests are facing at this time. We have high hopes that all will be recovered by July, but we don't know if large gatherings will even be allowed.

All but one of our media guests for this year resides outside the United States. We do not know if travel bans will be lifted by then and we don't want to disappoint anyone last minute.

We are a smaller, family-run show and believe the most important thing right now is for everyone to concentrate on themselves and a healthy future.

To all vendors and artists/crafters: We will be contacting you all in the next few days with options for either full refund or partial refund and we will reserve your spot for next July. If you do not hear from us by the end of the week, please email me directly at: [email protected].

Any attendees who won free tickets for this year's show will be honored at next year's show. Any questions, please feel free to ask in the comments. Thank you everyone for being amazing and stay safe and healthy!
