Spring Has Sprung?!?!!!
March is almost done with us by getting the jump on April showers. Last weekend the club went up to LG Cook 4-H Camp, where we happily survived the all-day rain on Saturday despite our disrupted sleep routines. Surprisingly we didn’t talk much about CloverCon, but kept snug & dry in the Winter HQ cabin laughing, eating, watching anime, & playing Smash Bros. Some of us did a lot of crafting with beads & sewing. One of our leaders brought his sewing machine to finish most of his Jedi tunic for a future cosplay. Bring it on! CloverCon! Here are more highlights to shine:
The Artist Alley Waiting List is now at 7 with one who got bumped up to join the Alley due to an artist’s cancellation.
Dealers Area is now also full with 5 vendors including a new one offering cosplay props & collectibles. See the complete list under About the Con: Artists/Dealers.
A returning guest is Lex Winter with his fabulous panel on Godzilla, King of Monsters, telling its life story by highlighting the good & bad plot lines depicted in films starting with its Japanese roots.
A new table-top game demo upstairs is BattleTech using detailed minatures of the 12- meter tall BattleMechs to introduce this exciting sci-fi adventure.
Magic the Gathering plays their cards thanks to Retro Lotus.
Other clubs in 4-H getting into the action: Chinese Culture continues in the Clover Café, Photobombers roam around with permission cards for cosplayers’ info, Clover Ensemble present improv games, Drawing & Sketch help with the Drawing Workshop, & Game On! hands out games from the mountain of choices upstairs.
I’m looking forward to seeing how Clover Baby Baby grows & expands into its preteen years.
But it’s not just about the con, other future events include a Ren Faire & a Table Top Game Day!
Wheels with wheels!
