Yeah we know, we’re always extremely lazy about the wrap-up posts. Cut us some slack, we’re a couple of aging geeks with regular jobs and we need our rest! 😛

Nearly a month late, but Thank You so much to everyone that came out to Retro Con 2024!! Even with conventions and toy shows cropping up all around us, along with all the craziness that comes along with an election year, and a health issue that kept one of us sidelined for a month or two, we’re still holding our own, and once again managed to beat our all-time attendance record!

And we feel like as the years go on, we’re moving further and further into “convention” territory. We only have the show as a once a year event because we want it to feel special. And while we always aspire to be humble and modest people, we’re also always glad to see so many people treating the show as a “not miss” event. We don’t get a lot of time to enjoy the show at large, so it’s always great to see everyone mingling with friends old and new, shopping the vendor floor, meeting the guests, playing the arcade games, dressing in costume, checking out the panels, and participating in the contests. But ultimately what makes a show fun and memorable comes down to what people bring to it.

Our thanks go out to all our attendees, vendors, guests, guest handlers, Press outlets, show sponsors, anyone that dressed in costume, our panel room A/V man Tom, panel room mods, the Cybertronic Spree, the tv/movie car owners, costume groups, Oaks Expo Center, anyone that supported and/or helped us promote throughout the year!

As always, our biggest thanks go out our staff and volunteers! They are getting too numerous to list here, but we want to let them all know how much we truly appreciate their massive help every year. From hall set-up and breakdown, to airport runs, floor work shifts, food runs, guest assistance, and even giving us help and guidance throughout the year. We can only plan out so much in advance when it comes to a convention, and our staff and volunteers are always willing to jump in to cover our backs when plans change. And we love them for it.

We haven’t made plans for a 2025 show yet, but we do hope to have one! So keep watching our pages. Thank you once again to everyone that attended or supported the show in any way!
