The Kincon Sci-Fi Convention is coming to the area this October. It is a celebration of the writings of Edmond Hamilton and his wife Leigh Brackett; both prolific science fiction novelists and playwrights.
Edmond Hamilton was born in Youngstown, Ohio and died in 1977. He was often referred to as the ‘Dean of Sci-Fi’. One of Leigh Brackett's most well-known screenplays was ‘The Empire Strikes Back’, part five of the Star Wars saga.
There are set to be discussion panels on the writers' works, impressions of Edmond Hamilton, a play based on one of his short stories and even the viewing of the couple's personal slides. There will also be two costume contests; one for adults and one for children. There will also be writing, art and trivia competition taking place.
In addition, the convention will also be celebrating the 75th anniversary of the Batman comic.
It is likely that Flyers will be used to advertise this event to surrounding communities such as Hermitage. Local printing companies often provide these types of marketing materials to convention organizers.
The Kincon Sci-Fi Convention is being held at the Joseph Badger School in Kinsman, Ohio on October 4 from 10:00 am - 7:00 pm. Contact Don Sutton at 330-240-8094 to find out more.Get a Free Quote for Flyers
