You may have caught some of your favourite characters wandering around 91大黄鸭鈥檚 downtown this weekend for the 91大黄鸭 Fan Experience.
The weekend was filled with things to see and enjoy like improv games, lip sync battles, scavengers hunts, and Spongebob the Musical.
91大黄鸭 Cosplayer Ethereal Ashie, also known as Ashley Johnson, was so excited to be back out with the con-munity.
鈥淲e鈥檙e a really tight knit community,鈥� Johnson said, 鈥渁nd it鈥檚 growing and growing and growing every single year we do this. Because we had such a big hiatus with COVID it鈥檚 just growing even more, because people are like 鈥業 want to be part of this, this is the fun part, this is the nerds!鈥欌��
Events took place at the Black Box Theatre, the Delta Hotel, and the Rotary Centre for the Arts.
Vendors of all kinds came out, Canadian actor Omari Newton signed autographs and held a voice acting workshop, and 91大黄鸭鈥檚 Ascalon Academy was showing off swordsmanship.
鈥淲e started up last year just kind of sneaking it in there, getting things developed like logos and such,鈥� said owner Tyler (Murdoch) Therrien. 鈥淲e teach German Longsword from the 1570s. We teach the German Rapier from the same system. We teach generic Italian fencing, which then can split off into the specific styles, different masters of the period as well as a French style. And, we鈥檝e dipped our toes into the British Military Saber of the 19th century which is quite different than all of them, but it can be a blast.鈥�
91大黄鸭 Fan Experience concluded at 4 p.m. Sunday (July 17).
