I saw it posted on his FB page this afternoon and it was a sharp punch to the gut as I know he was such an important part of OK comic scene.

It has been announced on Facebook that Oklahoma promoter Peter Purin has coordinated with the late Bart Bush's wife Barbara, Buddy Saunders of mycomicshop, and original OAF members Robert Brown, John McMahan and others to bring OAFCON back October 2nd-3rd, 2021. As before, the event will be held at Embassy Suites in Norman.

Peter says he plans to hold an auction benefiting Bart's family.

That is tremendous news, thanks for sharing it! Since I have been boycotting Facebook for the past few months I had no chance of seeing it. Already looking forward to it!
