It’s Brandon’s own Comic and Pop Culture Convention!
Bran-Con Sees Great Inaugural Year
On October 19 and 20 the Western Manitoba Auditorium saw hundreds of pop culture fans, cosplayers and kids of all ages turn out to celebrate all their favorite fandoms. The girls who voiced young Anna and young Elsa in Frozen, Eva Bella and Livvy Stubenrauch, as well as Kat Cressida were signing autographs in the lobby, the 501st Legion Starwars Cosplayers had a full booth on the concourse, the Grand Salon was full of vendors, an Artist Alley was set up on the back half of the stage while cosplay panels, book releases and Dean Gunnarson performed his escape show on the front of the main stage. Local fans came out in cosplay ranging from an inflatable 7′ Pikachu to characters from other video games, book characters, and even a face masked,coffee mug toting, robe-wearing “Predator who just gave up caring”. The spectacle is going to go again next year, so get ready for Bran-Con 2020 – it will only get bigger, better, stronger, faster….
