Norwescon, Sakura-Con, and Easter Weekend

April 11, 2023October 22, 2012 by Norwescon

Both are big geek-friendly events, and while there’s a slightly different focus, there are many who would prefer to attend both, rather than having to either split time between the two or choose one over the other.
