Owensboro Comic & Toy Convention

The inaugural Owensboro Comic & Toy Convention is scheduled for Oct. 7-8, 2023, at the Owensboro Convention Center overlooking the Ohio River in Owensboro, KY. Details and tickets: https://www.owensborocomiccon.com/

NOTE: To help ensure this new convention starts off on the right foot, anyone who books a hotel room in the convention block (links on con website) has been promised one free weekend badge ($54.40 separately) at hotel check-in. Children under 10 are free with a paid adult.

Scheduled comic creator guests include Jim Shooter, Bob Hall, Dave Aikins, Guy Gilchrist, Phil Hester and Kyle Starks. See website for list of actors, voice actors, pro wrestlers, etc. Celeb Photo Ops is the photo-op vendor, with prices ranging from $60 to $85 for individual celebrities and $115 to $135 for Pokémon and Power Rangers duos. There will also be a cosplay contest with prizes (limited to 150 total entrants across three categories: novice, journeyman and masters).

The same organizer produces the Lexington (KY) Comic & Toy Convention and Huntington (WV) Comic & Toy Convention each year, so this new convention has great potential. Come help make it a success!
