Would the Kelowna show be worthwhile with the inventory that we normally have at shows?

To be honest, the Kelowna con is still a bit too small to justify such a long drive from Edmonton, AB ... unless your family has a fave case(s) of vino that they wish to pick up annually fresh from the West Kelowna vineyards. Also there are no discounts available for hotels, motels, hostels  during peak August travel season.

Final bump as Kelowna ComiCon starts this Sat. August 19, 2023. Actually, Super 8 hotel in WEST Kelowna, BC just dropped 2 bed price to $195 Cdn/night for this weekend. An Aussi comic collector on BC, Canada vacation may swing by to buy, hopefully from our endcap at v-14, v28 booths.

Sorry this ComiCon has just been POSTPONED, CANCELED due to state of fire emergency. Travel warning: parts of Hwy. 97 South (both sides) near West Kelowna may be closed this weekend due to wildfires, smoke limiting access to the bridge that crosses in to Kelowna (ComiCon), BC, Canada.

I see that the fire jumped Lake Okanagan last night. That is not good.
