 After being rescheduled due to the snowstorm in January, the Tug Valley area CVP will be holding their 5th annual Wilcon Comic and Cosplay Convention at the Southside Mall on Saturday, March 16th. We'll have a cosplay contest on the stage, we'll be filled with replica cars featuring the movie version of the Transformers Bumblebee, we'll be filled with about 20 or so vendors and it's going to be a good time as usual. Avalachian Community Care offers outpatient medication assisted treatment for addiction, counseling and behavioral play therapy for children, accepting Medicare and all major insurance. Recovery is hard, regret is harder. Avalachian Community Care, Pikeville, Whitesburg, 606-4325660, find them on Facebook. The event will host interactive entertainment, comic and collectibles vendors, artists and most of all, a cosplay contest. The convention is a way to celebrate all types of fandoms and showcase different collectibles. But more than anything, it is a space where children get the opportunity to participate in Comic-Con culture without having to spend hundreds of dollars and go to a larger gathering. We wanted the idea that we want to have a community show that's accessible to everyone. For example, this weekend, electricity and Comic-Con is going on and that's great, but it's very expensive, you have to pay for gas tickets and whatnot. We always intended to be a community based show, we don't want to have any barriers of entry for our locals, our families and our kids. The WilCon will begin at 10 a.m. at the Southside Mall on Saturday, March 16th. Admission for the convention is free. For more information, you can visit the WilCon Facebook page.
