*Dates: July 9th & 10th, 2011
*Website: http://glasscitycon.com/
*Age ranges: From families to singles. I bring my 13 and 15 year old, and have friends in their 40s who hang out. It's a family friendly setting. got kids who love anime and are bored this summer...THEN BRING THEM HERE!
*Admission: FREE! I suggest everyone bring money for food and shopping. There is a ton of shopping. There are classes and guest speakers you can attend for free as well. I speak from experience here, free cons are rare and precious - normally cons cost $30 to $75 just to walk into the door. Just because admission is free doesnt mean that this con isnt worth attending, its quiet the amazing bargain! As a parent, I love this con as a chance to get the kids out for some affordable fun, and for me to have fun too.
*Entertainment: Workshops about various topics, guest speakers from the industry, dancing, shopping, costume contests, and more!
