The 3rd annual Bellingham ComiCon brings the most exciting year yet, adding a costume contest and a "Magic the Gathering" tournament. Both are sponsored by Eagles Games of Bellingham. In addition, there will be tons of other board games to play and purchase.

Bellingham merchants are getting involved too, donating prizes for the costume contest, as well as displaying posters in their stores. A couple other local businesses have worked especially hard at spreading the word about the convention. They are The Comics Place and Michael’s Books. Both have been huge supporters of our show since its inception and will be set up at the convention. They are located in downtown Bellingham along with Eagles Games. Be sure to stop by their stores whenever you’re in town.

The 501st Legion will be back this year, accompanied by their friends the Mandalorian Mercs. So be sure to get your picture taken with a Storm Trooper or the character of your choice. For those not familiar with these clubs, they are an all volunteer organization whose appearance benefits local charities. They have members world wide and have had a huge impact raising money for non-profit charities like the Make a Wish Foundation, and countless others. Please stop and give them a big “thank you” for all their hard work.

If you are staying in Bellingham the weekend of the show, The Airport Hampton Inn is offering a special room rate for the ComiCon. Many of the guests and exhibitors have stayed there previous years and have had nothing but great things to say about the hotel and the staff.

The 10,000 square foot Exhibitors Room will be filled with Northwest Washington’s largest selection of comics, toys and related collectibles.

The Bellingham ComiCon has truly become an event no to be missed. I hope to see you there!

Best, Eric Burris
