The University of Alaska Fairbank’s Wood Center had a busy weekend, overrun by friends and families attending all the fun events at Pop-Con. Pop-Con is a celebration of all things pop culture hosted here at UAF and features a wide variety of vendors, tournaments, workshops, and more.
Vendors came to sell goods such as apparel, trinkets such as dice and cards, original artwork, and more. Food was provided by Oishi Kitchen, who served authentic Japanese ramen both days of the event.
Pop-Con began at 12 p.m. on Friday, hosting a variety of different workshops and events, such as a discussion about artificial intelligence in gaming hosted by owner of Epic Saga, Roger Peters. There was also a fighting game tournament hosted by the Esports staff, and a workshop hosted by Joel Stone to teach people how to paint their own miniatures for use in tabletop games.
