    I just wanted to say that I think this was poorly communicated about the cancellation on the convention. We researched this and planned vacation around this so that we could visit the convention. On Thursday, Sept. 24th I personally revisited the site to find out what time the convention started. It said from 8:00 am - EVENING. On Friday, after over an hour drive we arrived to discover that the convention had been cancelled. I think it is a little late to post the cancellation THE DAY OF the convention. I just wonder how many others encountered this situation.
