We had the pleasure of meeting Katie with the Campbell County Library<\/a> when she contacted us about using laser tag at her Comic Con themed event. What came next was the most fun meeting I’ve ever had! It was a joy helping her fit laser tag into her event and her enthusiasm for what she does was infectious.<\/p>\n We wanted to ask her a few questions about her event and share her expertise with you – so read on!<\/p>\n Hi Katie! Tell me about your event.<\/strong><\/p>\n Hi Kristina!\u00a0The Campbell County Public Library System<\/a> held our very first Comic-Con event on August 1 from 10am to 2pm. \u00a0The event was to celebrate the Summer Reading Program, and to reward the kids who had stuck with it over the summer. The Program Team knew we wanted to have the event a year in advance, so a lot of offices started to overflow with comic related items many months prior to the event.\u00a0 Our wonderful staff also started prepping and keeping us notified of comic related items around the area and really helped us promote it to our wonderful community.<\/p>\n Our trips <\/a>to Comic Con San Diego<\/a> are the reason you reached out to us! So tell me all about your organization, your role and anything else you’d like to brag to me about.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Yes – you’re right about your trips – they definitely caught my eye! The CCPL System<\/a> always strives to give patrons an amazing experience at our four libraries and around the area, so we thought that this would be a great event for all ages.\u00a0 We wanted to have a large event with many vendors, costumes, food trucks, decorations, and especially activities!\u00a0 We loved seeing our regular patrons attend and we also adored meeting new faces and families. \u00a0We had over 600 people in attendance that Saturday and had amazing volunteers which included the Campbell County Sheriff\u2019s Office<\/a>, Rustburg Rescue Squad<\/a>, and the Rustburg Volunteer Fire Department<\/a>.\u00a0 We \u00a0also had vendors ranging from local pro-wrestlers to comic book shops, local Star Trek organizations, GameStop<\/a>, Barnes and Noble<\/a>, and many more!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We had the pleasure of meeting Katie with the Campbell County Library when she contacted us about using laser tag at her Comic Con themed event.
