Who we are

Carol and Russ, a retired couple with more than 40 years of shared adventures, have spent the last 15 years making lasting memories while attending and staffing conventions with their three kids. After retiring and embracing their new empty-nester life, they were inspired to create something special—a fun, family-focused convention. Their goal is to design an exciting, engaging event that brings people together, reflecting their love for community, creativity, and making joy-filled moments for families.
