Heroes, artists, legends: Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo – A Youth Week Event

The original Batman. The father of Marvel Comics. Weasley twins. The voice of Winnie the Pooh. Star Trek. Do these sound familiar? I’m sure at least some of them register with readers, regardless of age or interest. The best part? They will all be here, in Calgary, this weekend, as part of the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo! Located at the BMO Centre on the Stampede Grounds, the Expo will include opportunities to meet your favourite stars, get pictures and autographs with them, and even try out some awesome exhibits.

There is going to be something for everyone there, regardless of your interests. Comic nerd? You can meet the man associated with pretty much every comic ever written in Stan Lee. Sci-fi geek? The entire cast of Star Trek will be reunited for the first time EVER. A little more artsy? Have a chat with the people behind the illustrations in children’s books and comics. Check out the DeLorean and the Batmobile; talk with stars like James Marsters and Hayden Panettiere; chat with local Canadian artists, writers, and musicians. The possibilities are endless, but unfortunately, the Expo is not…

The Expo runs this weekend – April 27 to April 29. Tickets are $25 at the door for each day, or $50 for a three day pass. If you have a list of favourite stars and want to plan ahead, feel free to check out the schedule at the CCEE website.

Hello friends! My name is Syed, and I'm coming to take over a neighbourhood near you. If you'd like to catch a glimpse of me (maybe you want an autograph?), your best bet would be to go over to the University of Calgary campus, where I'm pursuing a degree in Commerce. There are a myriad of words to describe me, but hey, I'll let my writing do the talking. Happy reading!
