If you can help, please think of donating a little. Wade was a vendor at most years of Kawa Kon and suffered an accident at Anime NYC that has left him in the hospital.

Hi all!

In April, the convention chair moved out of state to pursue the next step in her career. As of right now, we don't have plans for a future Kawa Kon, but there are numerous other awesome conventions in St. Louis to check out.

Thank you all for your support on GoFundMe AND for supporting the convention all these years! We are continuing to be active in the community and encourage you to support other local conventions while we are on hiatus.

From the con chair:
This year, starting with a sudden, severe illness a week before Kawa Kon last year, has been a roller coaster. I realized over the summer that there was no way I could devote enough time to the convention to make it fun. Things are still very much in flux, but I will keep you up-to-date on activities in which the Kawa staff is participating in 2017. Real life got in the way of the absolutely amazing experience that is running Kawa Kon. I'm sorry about that but also glad not to have the convention to worry about at the moment.
For those who have asked, my health is far better, but we all need to take care of our mental health as well. :)
Love and peace,
Katrina

Will you join some of the Kawa Kon staff on Friday night at the Saint Louis Science Center for Doctor Who Celebrity Name Game?

I know many of you have eagerly awaited the opening of registration for Kawa Kon 2017, but unfortunately the con has to be put on indefinite hiatus due to a personal emergency on the part of the con chair. We will continue to be involved in local events such as the Halloween Spooktacular on October 27 at the St. Louis Science Center, but the convention itself is on hiatus. Thank you for all of your support and love! We hope to continue to support the fandom community in any way we can.

Get ready for a quest! The NPCs at the Kawa Kon table for Saturday's Bright Ideas Expo 2016 at the St. Louis Science Center will be sending you out to fetch magical items and meet strange new people. Stick around for a wrap-up at 3:00 with prizes and fun!

After months of trying to solve the issue, we are reaching out to you for help! Due to a weird accounting practice in tallying the surcharge for the hotel this year, we have a $6000 debt that still needs paid ASAP. We'd like to do something all of you might enjoy to raise the funds. So don't list the usual fundraising ideas. Tell us what YOU would attend/contribute to, and we'll try to make it happen.
