We'll have a dealer's room with many toys and comics for sale, a video room airing episodes from G1, Beast Wars, and other series. We'll be doing a few entertaining fan panels over the course of the day. We'll also be drawing for door prizes every hour (must be present to win), and in the afternoon we're going to have a live Transformers Quiz Show, with prizes for First, Second, and Third Place. It should be a really exciting event, and if you're still on the fence about coming, ADMISSION IS FREE.

The event will be held at the La Quinta Inn and Suites at 5500 W. Kellogg (intersection of Hwy 54 & I-235) from 10AM to 5PM.

La Quinta is offering a special room rate for anyone coming from out of town. Just tell them you're with "Transformers Expo".

Dealer tables are still available, but filling up fast. The cost per 6 foot table is $30, with $15 payable now, and the remaining $15 closer to the show.

Check us out on Facebook-- we're under the group "Wichita Transfans". And please join-- we're always looking for new members. No, you don't have to live in Wichita-- we've got one friend in the group who lives in New York. Hope to see some of you guys at the show!

Huh, might just have to check that out. As with most, it'll boil down to work schedules, but I'll pop in if I get the chance.

Glad you guys are interested in our event-- we're going to make it as cool as possible. Whether you're coming or not, please join the group "Wichita Transfans" on Facebook. I meant to get that onto the flyer, but it didn't quite make it onto that version. We have monthly meet-ups, local sightings threads, and occasionally, shenanigans. I'd love to see some Seibertronians there!

Just a quick update-- Dealer tables are nearly sold out, so if you're thinking about it, let me know ASAP!

Also, on the Wichita Transfans Facebook page, we're discussing which G1, Beast Wars, and Headmasters episodes to show in the video room. Feel free put your 2 cents in!

I'm thinking of making the trek down there. Three hours each way, though.
