You asked for it - Sunday Hall Pass is here!

1/21/2016

In the last two years of our members-only convention you've been asking us for an option for people to be able to come in and visit just the Exhibit Hall, Artshow, and Author Alley, for those that just want to network and shop and *not* attend all the amazing panels, workshops, meet & greets, gaming, consuite, parties, and other things ConCoction has to offer. 

You asked, and we listened.
This year we are trying out a Sunday-only "Hall Pass" limited membership that will allow access to those three areas only. "Hall Pass" attendees will still need to come to the Registration area to sign in & get their pass, but from there they can peruse the Artists, Authors & Vendors until the end of the show. 

This option will not be available on any other day of the convention. It will only be available on Sunday from the time Registration opens (10am) until the shows close (3pm).

​Stop in, grab a Hall Pass membership this year, and then check us out and consider coming back for the full convention in 2017!

Add 40+ street vendors, games, activities, along with a 1-Mile Kids Fun Run, an evening 5k, live music by the Burning River Ramblers, food vendors and a beer garden with local brews from Buckeye Brewing Company. 
Thank you to our tile sponsor Melt Bar and Grilled.

Post MarCon 50 Wrap-up

5/12/2015

0 Comments

 
We had a fantastic time at this year's anniversary event, Marcon 50, celebrating 50 years of fan-run, volunteer run fandom in Ohio. 

This year was our third year with a hall table at Marcon. We were able to answer questions, share information on ConCoction 2016, and take pre-registrations onsite at the convention. 

This year was also our very first year of hosting a room party! Thanks to the leadership of our Hotel & Guest liaison volunteer, Eric, we had a great event on Saturday night. Many light refreshments, great music, snack & baked goods, and many cards games were available for play until late on Saturday night.

Thank you to all that stopped by to say hi at our table, partied with us Saturday night, and learned about all the great things our volunteers have been doing. 

Hope to see you all at ConCoction 2016, and at Marcon 51 (2016)!
