Soonercon
SoonerCon is a fan-run multi-genre convention held annually in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and suburbs, currently Midwest City since 2013. SoonerCon was founded in 1986 but went dormant after the 1997 event. In 2005, a group of fans, headed by con chair Jerry Wall, re-established SoonerCon as the multi-genre convention of central Oklahoma. While originally created as a traditional sci-fi/fantasy "litcon" embracing art, TV/film, costuming, gaming, filksinging, comics and real-space advocacy, SoonerCon now crosses over to even more aspects of fandom including anime, miniature modeling, and film production.
As with both the state nickname and the mascot of the University of Oklahoma athletic teams, SoonerCon takes its name from the doubly unique angle of Oklahoma Territory's opening-settler "Land Runs" and the Sooners who crossed into the target areas early in each, ahead of the opening hour.
== Programming ==
In 2007, SoonerCon hosted a variety of guests including author Stephen R. Donaldson, artist Keith Birdsong, publisher Selina Rosen, plus media guests Claudia Christian, Vaughn Armstrong, Casey Biggs, and Janet and Larry Nemecek. Activities included a large exhibitor hall, an art show and auction, film festival, dinner/theater, charity auction benefiting the local chapter of March of Dimes: Walk America, Rocky Horror Picture Show, SinnerCon, and performances from Tribal Stars - Tribal Fusion Bellydancers. Programming included hours of workshops on topics ranging from art to makeup and costuming, and discussions of 2007’s topic, “Visitors from Beyond,” including discussions on UFOs, other dimensions, and Space Brothers. Other panels included guest question and answer sessions, autographing, readings, and performances.
