RodCon is a mini-comic book convention with a welcoming environment where people with common interests come together to share their love of all things pop culture. This will be the ninth year for our event, and we hope this year will continue to be bigger and even better. The event is always free and open to the public and highlights guest speakers, artists, vendors, trivia competitions, youth and adult costume contests, prizes, giveaways, video gaming, live-action role-playing, youth crafts, and much more! The RodCon strives to present diverse perspectives and offer opportunities for discussion and idea-sharing.
