Lexington Comic & Toy Convention

Make plans now for the weekend of March 11-13, 2016, to attend the 5th annual Lexington Comic & Toy Convention, to be held at the Lexington Civic Center located in downtown Lexington, Kentucky.  The convention, owned by Jared and Jamie Greer, is fast becoming the place to be in our area.  The very first Lexington ComicCon, held in 2012, was a 1 day event, and was an extremely huge success.  In 2013 the convention was expanded to 2 days, and was host to such stars as Margot Kidder (Lois Lane), Billy Dee Williams (Star Wars), and Doug Jones (Hellboy).  William Shatner, Nichele Nichols, and George Takei (the original Star Trek) were among the main guests at the 2014 ComicCon.  Eric Roberts and Verne Troyer were 2 of the stars we got to meet in 2015.

Each year the Lexington ComicCon grows bigger and better.  Some of this year's guests include several stars from the Dr. Who television series.  For more information on this year's guests, ticket prices, and hotel reservations, you can go to lexingtoncomiccon.com.  Hope to see you there.

It's been awhile...

I realize it's been several months since my last post, and for that I do apologize.  There's really no excuse for not posting, but I hope to be able to do a better job from now on.

ScareFest 8 has come and gone, and the 2016 Lexington ComicCon is coming up next month; March 11-13 to be exact.  My "sidekick" and I will again be covering the ComicCon for our website, SharrysPlace.com.  If you're into comic book and toy conventions, why not head out to the Civic Center in Lexington, Kentucky, and have a great time.  Check out their website for more information.

In other convention news, ScareFest will be held the weekend of September 30-October 2, also at the Lexington Civic Center.  The theme for this year will be Camp ScareFest.  As the name suggests, you will feel like you are at summer camp, with pajama parties, campfire stories, and other camp activities.  Though no guests have been announced yet, it won't be long until they do.

I am still working on my embroidery and ceramic painting.  I'm trying to figure out the best way to make some sales, but am at a standstill on that.  Oh well...that's okay.  One of these days, I'll figure something out.

Until next time, I hope life treats you right...
