This year's Farpoint convention was very quiet. The Valentine Day's blizzard a few day's earlier served to scare off many potential attendees. The main guests were also changed the month before the con. Die hard fans still showed up and had a great time. It was a relaxing convention. There were two entries for the model contest. Many people that visited our tables expressed their regret at not bringing their models. Some were only spending one day at the con and others did not hear about the contest beforehand. |
