It might not be quite grammatically correct, but this
question nicely expresses the philosophy of our upcoming 2nd annual celebration
of popular culture, coming August 12th and 13th. Last year we held a comic con, focused
primarily on the Summer Reading Program superhero and comic book theme. In 2016, we are expanding to something we are
calling RidgeCon, which will encompass a wide range of fandoms, from youngsters
obsessed with Disney princesses to older adults who can’t get enough of Downton
Abbey. And of course, there will still
be plenty for followers of the big pop culture phenomena of the summer, from
X-Men, Star Trek and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies to the release of the
long-awaited new Harry Potter novel.
Activities during RidgeCon will include cosplay, face
painting, drawing workshops, gaming, themed trivia and scavenger hunts, green
screen photo ops, live entertainment, visits from costumed characters,
choose-your-own-adventure scenarios and even a special Friday evening event for
adult fans of All Things British.
Businesses and individuals interested in purchasing a vendor
table, program book ad or event sponsorship should visit ridgefieldlibrary.org
or call John Casiello at 203-438-2282 x11006
So, whatever you are a fan of, we hope to see you in August
– in costume or not!
