I know some of our members have been to assorted Cons, and enjoy working with the costumed fun that can entail. This program, at the Tempe, AZ library, sounds so fun – I really want to see it here in Central Minnesota!! (I’ll come to your event, and find a fun costume!!)

Check out this article from the local paper: (You will want to see all the photos!)

“Superheroes, wizards and Jedi gathered for the fourth year at the Tempe Public Library for the library’s annual Comicon.

The all-day event Saturday featured panel discussions, comic and figurine vendors — and at least one shark.

“I had this in the closet, the left shark costume,” said 21-year-old Zack Tucker, wearing the full-body shark costume made internet famous after a Super Bowl dance routine. “I figured people would like a dead meme.”

Tucker came with friends, all wearing different costumes.

“I’ve never been to a Comicon before,” he said. “It’s fun so far.”

Jason Price was “Star Wars” hero Chewbacca for the day, and his young son, Luke, had a costume of his favorite character from the movies: Kylo Ren.

“We live here, but this is our first time coming,” Price said.

With high temperatures in the 70s, families enjoyed the pop-culture displays that filled the area outside the library.

“Just coming out and enjoying the weather and being out here, participating in the community,” Price said. “We definitely want to be here and check out all the vendors and see what’s going on.”

“We just won the scavenger hunt,” Luke added. “Fun!” “
