Update: The Artist Alley is full!!!!

Wowser!  The Waiting List for artists started today on Super Bowl Sunday. Synchronicity, anyone?

There's already three artists on the list for an open spot! If you would like to be on the Artist Alley waitlist, please send me an email along with your registration here: 4hanimeleader@gmail.com. Your Paypal or other payment is not necessary until you are informed, by me, that there is an available opening in our Artist Alley.

But if you've already sent us your Paypal, no worries! I'll email you asap either way that you can be on the Waiting List if you want.  So live in hope that your luck will come through once you're on the waiting list, otherwise we'll refund your Paypal on the April 1st deadline.

Well, back to the game.... Have fun rooting for your favorite team!

*Additionally, if you signed up for an artists’ table and have not reached out to the con about finalizing either paperwork or payment, please reach out to us ASAP. There are several artists who have not given us information we need to finalize their spot. Double check that all your paperwork made it where it needs to go! (ó﹏ò｡)

Finally, the bits & pieces of CloverCon 2023 are done, so now it’s time for CloverCon 2024!

Although the Anime & Manga 4-H Club: Village Hidden in the Clovers meets year-round, we’re now focusing our collective brains on all things CloverCon, as we go into our 12th year of running a successful “fun”-raiser for both the Somerset County 4-H youth development program & our club.

  • Pre-Registration for attendees offers half-price of $10 admission.

  • Guest List is growing with Adam Hennessey, Jaime Bonsignore, Jon Turner, Manly Battleships, & Tyler Barth. Their programs will be announced in a future blog besides on the Guest page or in the schedule on the website.

  • 4-H Clubs involved:

    • Chinese Culture running the kitchen for Clover Café

    • Photobombers roaming the con for candid & posed photo ops

    • Role for Initiative: D&D running campaign(s) in the upstairs Game Room

    • Game On! helping with table top & video games in upstairs Game Room

    • Village Hidden in the Clovers running Pictionary with prizes, Manga Reading

    • Room, Anime Screening Room, Cosplay Catwalk Contest, Silent Auction, & a Drawing workshop

  • Labyrinth of inlaid pavers is located in the lawn north-east of the parking lot.

So, it begins. Look here & elsewhere on the website for more details as they also come into

focus. Welcome one & all to our wonderful multi-verse also known as CloverCon!
