 Do you worry about having enough money to last throughout retirement? Give Reed Potter at Raymond James a call. Reed has 26 years experience helping folks enjoy their best life in their retirement years. The Tug Valley Area CVB will be holding their fifth annual Will Con comic and cosplay convention at the Southside Mall on Saturday, January 20th. It's a day for fun. It's a day for people to come out, socialize. If you're into fandom of any kind, any type of top culture fandom, this is the place for you. It's a place for you to spend the day at the mall, meet other people, people watch and check out the costumes and maybe make new friends. The event will host interactive entertainment, comic and collectibles, vendors, artists and most of all a cosplay contest. The grand prize for this year's cosplay contest will be $200. Above everything else, Pajarillo wants the convention to be a place where Appalachians can come out and celebrate their nerdiness. Kids don't necessarily feel comfortable expressing themselves outside of an event like Will Con. At the very first Will Con we were talking to some kids that were in cosplay and they went to school together. But it turns out that they were not aware that the other did cosplay. It was kept that hidden. And that kind of set the importance of why an event like Will Con is important for our youth, for Appalachian kids, because a lot of kids don't have access to the bigger shows. Will Con will begin at 10 am at the Southside Mall on Saturday, January 20th. Admission for the convention is free. For more information you can visit the Will Con Facebook page.
