What a great event!!!
by cafries on 11/18/24DeVos Place - Grand RapidsRating: 5 out of 5I was able to go to the G.R. Comic-Con with my son, and his Family. It was a great experience for all of us. I had the VIP experience, and the check-in was really easy, however I did have to wait on a lanyard for my VIP tag. Once inside the venue, we were treated to the G.R. Symphony playing selections from Star Wars, Harry Potter and other appropriate songs. IT WAS AWESOME!!! The vendors, and the Media Guests were very accessible and friendly. The support staff was very helpful, and they were able to answer any questions, that I had.
It was also fun to see all the Cos Play participants, they were very interactive with my grandchildren, it was fun to observe the interactions. Some of these participants were so good in their characterizations.
On Sunday, we were able to attend some of the panel discussions, I really enjoyed these discussions very much!!!
If I had an issue, it was the lack of seating available for lunch. On Saturday, our entire party, as well as other parties had to sit on the floor to eat their lunches. I am in my sixties, and I was lucky because my son was able to grab an empty chair for me to sit on.
Overall, I really enjoyed the G.R. Comic-Con and it is my hope to attend the 2025 Spring Fling in Kalamazoo!!!
