The first day of the Lethbridge Entertainment Expo at the Enmax Centre, Saturday, Nov. 14 had a little something for everyone.
Actors Jason Mewes ( Clerks, Mallrats, Dogma, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back) and Lee Arenberg (Once Upon a Time, Pirates of the Caribbean) plus Billy West (Futurama, Ren and Stimpy) and Brendan Hunter (Dragonball, Lloyd the Conqueror) were doing panels, plus there were panels on making killer clown make up and foam armour.
Creepy Hollow Haunted House , who are now based in Warner set up a haunted house and were dressed in costumes including a dead cheerleader, witch and giant pumpkin for the day.
There were a lot of people dressed for cosplay as a variety of superheroes, zombies, zombie hunters and iconic pop culture character and and or makeup wandering through the rows of vendors which really had something for everyone.There is even a video game station on the main floor.
There were plenty of comics, superheros, trinkets, video games, and knick knacks bearing every pop culture image you could imagine plus lots of books, and my favourite, obscure B movies.
In addition to being on on the Enmax floor with the booths for the guests, more vendors had stalls ringed around the top level with their artwork and creations on display.
There were some familiar faces from last year’s Entertainment Expo as well as new vendors from Calgary and Edmonton.
Activities for kids including a bouncy castle and makeup stations were hidden just outside the rink.
The panels are taking place on the third floor in the Enmax Centre lounge.
