A more local to us fandom store (Operation:Fandom) hosted their first convention over the weekend. It was super amazing for a small, rural county to bring in such a crowd. Close to 2500 people came through.
Among the guests were a few of the kids (all grown up now) from The Sandlot, celebrating the movie’s 30th anniversary.
The girls were busy checking out all of the vendors, so us adults waited in line to meet Yeah-Yeah (Marty York), Squints (Chauncey Leopardi), and Smalls (Tom Guiry).
We also met Daniel Logan, who played Boba Fett as a child in the prequel movies.
Other guests included Jim Swearingen who worked for Kenner and created Star Wars toys, and Ari Lehman, the first Jason.
We also picked up a Nintendo Super Famicon, because kiddo #2 is very much into Japanese gaming.

There were toys, merch, cards, games, cosplay, and so much more! It was a great time and I look forward to them putting it on again!
