The Show is Almost Here.....

It has been a long time since a blog post has been posted about the show but we have not forgot you.  It has been a busy con season and busy time in general getting the show lined up for everyone. We have the following vendors line up for the first year.  Most of the vendors will have multiple tables and will have a variety of items that will be available.

Super Fly Comics and Games
Legacy Collectibles
Matt Turner - Hot Wheels
Chippies Anime
Aaron Hickman - Classic Action Figures
Lost Legion Games and Comics

of course....Classic Plastics Toy Store to round it out.

We have been hitting the advertising with the American Red Cross pretty heavy this past week and it will continue up until the day of the show.  We have done a show for 910 WLTP radio station and an article in the Parkersburg News and Sentinel.  Just this morning we even appeared on Daybreak on WTAP to help get the word out.  The link is below.


Daybreak - 9/1 - 6:25 - Red Cross Comic Expo

The Red Cross will have a table at the show as well to help answer any questions about what exactly disaster services does and how the show will benefit them.  A group of Red Cross volunteers named Jim and I Brats and Dogs will also be serving refreshments at the show as well with their proceeds going to disaster services for Red Cross as well.

Keep spreading the word on the show and please try to make it out.  The show is only $2 admission and 10 and under are free.  It is going to be at South Parkersburg Baptist Church from 10am-4pm and looks to be a great way to spend a Saturday with your family and help fill out your collection.  We hope to see many of you there and hope you like our Facebook page and spread it around the social media sites.

See everyone on the 13th!

Our first Tri-State Comic Con appearance has come and went and it was a blast.  Thanks go out to all of you who stopped by and talked with us.  Thanks for all the kind words and support for the store, if it wasn't for you all we would not be able to do what we love!  We hope to see you at more cons in the future, especially ours in September.  We still have plenty of tables left so please contact us if you would like to set up at our Expo.
