“It’s mostly about all the people. People are great at these events. Lots of wallflower people who you don’t really see them or talk to them to much. It’s good to see them being themselves.”

People from all over the North came to take part in the event. Anne Bullock drove up from Kamloops to check out the convention this year.

“We really wanted to see Kevin Smith again. It was our Kevin Smith hat trick.”

Over the past four years more than 50,000 people have attended Northern FanCon in Prince George.
