The third annual Clallam Bay Comicon on the way 13th-14th July
 |
| Sticker art - only a dollar - and panel moderators and table bosses get one for free! You don't HAVE to buy one, but it proves you attended. We still got 2012-13 tshirts, too. |
The third annual Clallam Bay Comicon will take place July 13-14 in the Lion's Club building in Clallam Bay, featuring artists, discussion panels, music and more. Once again, there will be no admission fee, and sales table rates are kept very low. All creatives are welcome to show. The unusual schedule (Sunday-Monday) allows comic shops to attend.
The show organizer, Donna Barr,
says this may be the last year for the show, but she only put it on
to prove she could do it.
"If I can do it 'way out
here, anybody can do it. The largest nearby town, Port Angeles, has
many facilities - space and hotel accommodations, eateries, excellent
inexpensive bus service, local attractions and accessible wilderness
- that would make a comicon a success, and once a town has a
comicon, the opportunities for all businesses just grow. The whole entertainment industry and
trees - can you beat it?"
