CANCELLED: Fayetteville Brick Convention
I’m 99% sure this event has been cancelled. I can’t find any official statement from Brick Convention, but the event and page have been removed from the official website. ToyCons.com mentions the cancellation, so we’ll have to assume. Bummer!
Mead Fest at Starrlight Mead
Pittsboro, NC—Saturday, September 27
