A star studded weekend was waiting for those who came to the South Florida Fairgrounds this last weekend of the year. And all the fun and collectibles that were on hand made for a winning combination at the very first Tri County Comic Con.

The lineup of celebrities was incredible: you were able to meet Walter Koenig (Star Trek), Priscilla Barnes (Three's Company), Lauren Chapin (Father Knows Best), Jeff Breslauer (Superboy), Debi Storm (Dr. Kildare), Cathy St. George (Former Playmate), Dan Stapleton (Magician), Joel D. Wynkoop (Actor), Eric Basaldua (Comic Artist), Tommy Castillo (Comic Artist), Pablo Marcos (Comic Artist), Rob Granito (Comic Artist), Brian Mitchell (Artist), Greg "The Hammer" Valentine (Wrestler), Roy Wayne "Honky Tonk Man" Farris (Wrestler), Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart (Wrestler), Mike "Virgil" Jones (Wrestler), Andrea Dean Van Scoyoc (Author), Markisha Bunn (Author/Poet), Daisy D (Female Impersonator) and many more.

Along with the V.I.P.s were dealers of comic and collectible related merchandise: you could buy figurines, t-shirts, original art, autographs, pirate items, specialty car tags, comic books, posters, banners, stickers, just anything that a collector's heart desires.

Contests, raffles and karaoke made this a very well rounded event where you could spend time among the hobby you love.

A big Thank You goes to TriCounty Comic Con who generously gave a table to the Neverending Necklace. Thanks to these Promoters, we could add 3 feet and 1 inch to the Project.
