It’s a Westercon tradition to publish a newsletter each day of the convention. You can see them in digital format here at this link!
The Myths and Legends Convention celebrates our modern myths and legends. We believe that the only difference between stories of Hercules and Harry Potter or the fall of Troy and Mordor is time. Hundreds of years from now, which of the stories we obsess over today will still be told? Will they tell tales of The Doctor, a mysterious figure who always appears right where he is needed? Or will they recount the lineage of the Winchesters, and the deeds they performed? We do not know which stories will persist, but they all have the possibility of surviving the test of time.
Each year, Myths and Legends celebrates a changing selection of fandoms. As an added bonus, this year we will host the travelling sci-fi/fantasy convention Westercon for its 71st iteration!
Join us for tea dueling and dancing, panels and programs, make-and-takes and interesting guests, as well as a vendor room full of hand-made fan-oriented items and an art show with custom made items to enhance your body and home.
Before attending, please familiarize yourself with our policies.
