"BookCon"
If a theoretical "Book Con" were to take place, what are a few points of feedback you would want to see?
* What would you pay for admission for general and VIP tiers?
* Genres of focus or balance?
* Emphasis on local, regional, national authors
* Should there be an opportunity for vendors to set up?
* What venues make the most sense?
* Which activities would make you most likely to attend?
* Would you prefer a one-day event, or weekend event?
* What would make attending easier for you?
* What would prevent you from attending?

Curious Iguana does their adult book fairs at Attaboy Barrel House but they do weekday evenings (usually Thursdays, sometimes Fridays, I believe) so probably doesn't compete with their busiest times.
Open Books Chocolates would be a good local vendor.
Personally a paid Con I'd probably not pursue because I feel like Cons are kind of niche and aimed at people who are way more invested in their hobbies than I am.
