The Promenade

Here it is! The highlight of every convention is the big vendors room. And we’re doing it virtually! The Promenade will be bustling with shops and merchants of all kinds. This whole event is for THEM, as many of them have been hit so hard by the cancellations of conventions this year. So please, visit every virtual table, say hello to your friends, share a laugh, and hopefully, buy some things you’ll love! By the way, you never know whom you might run into at The Promenade! Follow the link below and check out all the shops! (This is done via Zoom/Skype and lasts 90 minutes.)
