(SC) Nov 17-19 Atomacon (N.Charleston)
Posted: Sun Nov 26, 2017 11:04 pm
Date: Nov 17-19
Location: North Charleston Convention Center
Description of Event (Please share as much info as you can): After missing a year because of hurricane damage to the host hotel, Atomacon was back this year, although the change of venue and poor advertising made it one of the slowest ones yet. The 501st, Mercs, and Rebels in attendance still enjoyed wandering the halls, taking photos and attending panels. We could also be found drifting around the corner to delight the children who were attending the Charleston Holiday Market being held on the other side of the convention center.
Did this event support a charity?: Yes
MUSC Childrens Hospital and Pets for Vets
Event Length (Hours): 22 hours over 3 days
Indirect Funds Raised (Total money raised by event): $1250 - split evenly, $625 to each charity
Carolina Garrison Members in Attendance:
1. Chris Gould - Biker Scout / ROTJ Boba Fett
2. Taylor Seay - TFA Kylo Ren
Handlers:
1. Jada Diaz (photos)
Crossover Attendees from the Rebel Legion / R2 Builders Club / Mando Mercs:(delete this section if not applicable)
1. Luis Diaz - X-wing Pilot
2. Anjel Harken - Mandalorian Merc

Carolina Garrison Member Cheralyn Lambeth was attending, but only wore a partial 501st costume with Chris on Sunday.
