Tsubasacon kicks off 2016 season with annual picnic
Natsu no Tsubasacon goes into the books on a sweaty Saturday, June 27, at Huntington’s Ritter Park where the sun beamed and cosplayers dodged slippery spots from the prior rains.
The picnic serves as a summer get together prelude for the September 30-October 2 anime, gaming and cosplay convention at the Big Sandy Superstore Arena in Downtown Huntington.
Saturday’s potluck picnic brought out a couple hundred participants , most in some type costume
