Long live overactive imaginations!

Buffalo, NY, June 28 2014: Officials at The Ryu-Kon Group announced today that they have moved their annual Ryu-Kon Convention to the Buffalo Niagara Convention Center, 153 Franklin Street, Buffalo, NY 14202. This event will be taking place on July 18, 19 & 20, 2014. The Ryu-Kon Group is known for their programs, clubs and events all based on promoting creativity and imagination.

Ryu-Kon 2014 will be a full weekend of panels, workshops, events, screenings, entertainment, celebrity guests, shopping and unique activities that this group is noted for. There will be anime, gaming, steampunk and horror themed activities as well as their usual focus on creative careers and creative health. This is a rare opportunity for the whole family to embark on a journey that will allow you to bring your imagination to life. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be inside a game? Now's your chance, in the MEGA Games Room, where you can play giant, life sized versions of your favorite games, including an entire Minecraft Fantasy Land where you can step inside a room and be transformed into the game, build and create with hundreds of props until night fall and the creepers come out. Grab a bite to eat from the many food options, including the chance to have dinner and a show in the Ryuko's Maid Café. Shop in the Vendor's Room and Artist Alley and experience an Authentic Japanese Cherry Blossom Festival with carnival games, crafts and treats. Build and create your own masterpiece in the new Steampunk Archeological Dig Site. Archery Tag, the real Hunger Games, will be coming all the way from Indiana to Ryu-Kon. The special guest lineup includes a variety of celebrity actors, authors, entertainers and more. Be sure to get an autograph, meet these celebrities in person and even interact with them in various events.

More details, as well as ticket information can be found on their website at www.ryu-kon.com. Proceeds from this event go towards providing community events, clubs, programs, including scholarships through the Ryu-Kon Creativity Initiative Program.
