Mid Ohio Comic Con

Ray and Yvonne Craig I attended the Comic Con in Columbus, Ohio, at the Hilton Columbus. This convention featured June Lockhart, Bill Mumy, Angela Cartwright, Yvonne Craig, and John Provost. The convention itself was very well attended for the 2 day event, considering it was Thanksgiving weekend.
 
Bill, Angela, June and Ray I sat with Bill at the convention, where he June, and Angela were very well received. When these three get together, there are some great conversations about LIS happenings.
 
June spoke of the movie she just finished in Prague, called "Au Pair II". She had a lot of fun in Prague, and she really enjoyed herself. Most of all, she enjoys meeting her fans at conventions such as this one.
 
On Saturday there was a Q&A which featured June, Bill, and Angela, and also John Provost from "Lassie". At the Q&A, the fans in attendance had many questions to ask the panel. The questions were very cordially answered by all involved. Ohio Comic Con panel
 
The cast were asked questions about if they would be in a future LIS project that might be in the works. Bill answered that he would enjoy portraying Will Robinson once again. Angela and June were equally enthusiastic about appearing in a future LIS project. Both the panel and the audience considered the Q&A a success.
 
Sunday equally had a good crowd on hand. Bill and Angela signed lots and lots of autographs, and they answered many questions put before them. Angela told many fans about her recent trip to Salzburg, Austria to shot a documentary remembering "The Sound of Music".
 
She talked about how she and the other Von Trapp kids visited the places where they shot various scenes from "The Sound of Music". This brought back many memories for everyone. This movie is a cult classic, and it has been released on dvd. If you have a chance to see this movie on dvd, there isn't anything like it - with all the bonus footage and goodies that go along with it.
 
All in all, the Mid Ohio comic Con was a fun convention attend, and I highly recommend attending a future event. Roger Price puts on a classy show, and on behalf of June, Bill, Angela and myself, we want to thank him for having us out at his convention.
