The Hopkinsville-Christian County Public Library is gearing up for the return of the Hoptown FanFest on September 24.
Appearing on WHOP Monday morning, Director of Library Services Elysa Parks says it kicks off 10 a.m. that morning as they celebrate all things pop-culture with booths, panels, cosplay contests and more.
She says FanFest is free to attend and take part in, and they will have vendors on site where people can purchase items and food.
Parks says the first FanFest was in 2019 and then the pandemic turned it virtual the last two years, so they’re excited to be back in person.
The cosplay contest is open to all ages, and prizes for three age brackets. To enter, arrive dressed as your favorite pop culture character and sign-up 10:00 a.m. and noon to participate in the contest. Sign-ups will close 30 minutes before the beginning of the contest and the first 100 people to come to FanFest will receive a free tote bag.
