Organizers of three-day entertainment expo promise it will return in 2024
The popularity of the three-day entertainment expo last weekend at Exhibition Park makes that a virtual guarantee, says Northern FanCon executive director Norm Coyne.
Last year’s FanCon happened after two years of pandemic-related cancellations and attendance suffered with the lingering effects of people choosing to avoid public gatherings and crowds to lesson the risk of a COVID infection. “People are back to wanting to go out and support live events,” Coyne said. “FanCon is for fans of everything and we want to keep pushing the envelope and see what works. It’s nice to have something for everyone.”
The province provided event grant money and for the first time FanCon was also supported by a grant form the Northern Development Initiative Trust, which Coyne says made a huge difference to the bottom line.
