We Love The Con Day!

This year, the local community supporting Anime Evolution held "We Love The Con Day" to hype up the community for the 2010 convention year. It was held at Stanley Park miniature train picnic area on a gorgeous sunny day. Many local con-goers and supporters were in attendance with over 80 people present. Activities included Whose Line Is It Anyway? Anime Edition, half litre football, sneaky statues, an abbreviated cos-play contest and Pip's Improv, along with the usual meet-up happenings. Anime Evolution's Lord Dolphin was present to give away a gold pass by means of a pop quiz contest. Kirby Kandy was the lucky winner of an Anime Evolution 2010 Gold Pass. Congratulations!
