Thank you, for another amazing year!

“Hello and Happy Monday”, he said as he sipped his coffee.

Mark sat in his office chair, sipping his morning coffee – having just woke up from a short lived recuperation period from all the hard work and effort he and his team put forth into building a second year convention.

While the team worked their magic, it was the con goers and vendors that really made the magic happen.  Without them, it really wouldn’t have been anything exciting – probably just the group sitting around a circle in an old school gym waiting for people to arrive.

It is, without a doubt, one of the best things in the world to feel the excitement and the buzz from having had a successful second year. While traffic was not as high as expected, we did get a lot of good feedback on the vendors – and the vendors had some great feedback about the cosplayers.

If you were a vendor, and haven’t already given your feedback, please do so, here.

If you were an attendee or cosplayer, and haven’t already given your feedback, please do so, here.

We’d love to hear from you.  Your feedback will be completely anonymous and will only be shared with the internal crew of CosCon.

On behalf of the staff of CosCon, I really want to thank each and every one of you for coming out. You make it all worthwhile. We love you have come BIG and COOL news coming soon! So, stay tuned!!

Thanks, again
