Rick,

what was moving? What were people looking for?

1900 people? That's good news for a 1st show.

[capt_comics]

Final count was over 3000

 

 

Since it was free admission and in the heart of the Asheville cultural district.... I'm sure that helped attendance.......but still a HUGE crowd

 

By far the largest one day show I've ever attended

 

 

Congrats to Chance Whitmire and all the crew

 

Here is a pic from outside the museum
