The Lexington Comic & Toy Convention is fast approaching and with it comes four days in which to celebrate movies, wrestling, comics, TV, and everything in-between. During this four day long event, fans will be able to attend Q&A Panels with James Van Der Beek, Don Bluth, cast members of The Arrow and Twin Peaks, and more. When not in a panel, fans can head to a celebrity’s individual booth to purchase autographs and sometimes even selfies. For those who prefer a more professional picture, guests can purchase a photo-op with a celebrity. When you’ve had your fill of celebrities, you can browse the merchandise stands, mingle with renowned artists, or attend a number of fantastic classes and events scattered throughout the venue.
Below is just a small sample of some of the guests attending:
