BLAIR CO, Pa (WJAC) — The annual Sci-Fi Valley Con is back this weekend in Altoona at the Blair County Convention Center.
The event celebrates all things pop culture with several celebrity guests in attendance to meet with fans.
Attendees will be able to browse over 300 vendors.
Organizers say the show draws between 4 to 5-thousand people annually, and COVID safety protocols will be in place all weekend.
Organizers add that the realm of pop culture has really exploded over the past couple of years, due to people seeking a release from the pressures imposed by the pandemic.
“I think that the convention has been a really helpful thing for people, mentally, because people just being stuck inside for two years during the pandemic, and all of the tribulations that came with that. This is, for a lot of people, the first time they’ve been to an event in over two years.”
The event continues Saturday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday.
