WHAT IS CHARITY CON ?
Charity Con is a Star Wars themed convention designed to help
Hastings charities.  Charity Con features Star Wars costumes, displays
and fan made videos.  Several Star Wars actors and artists have
donated autographed items for our auction.

This year we are pleased to announce our kids costume contest.
Children up to the age of 17 may participate.  There will be prizes for a
few lucky contestants.  Not all entries will receive a prize...

Be sure to stay for our admissions drawing !  When you donate at the
door you will automatically be entered into a Grand Prize drawing.  
The drawing will take place at the end of the event.  You must be
present to win.  Trust us, its going to be worth the wait !   

Last year was our very first Charity Con and it was a big success.
We raised enough donations to provide the Hastings Food Shelf with
four tons of food.  Thanks to our vendors and supporters, we all had a
good time.  Below are some links to videos of the event.
( Star Wars actors appearing via video conference only. )
