Be sure to stop by and say hello to our Special Guest: KittenKaboodle Cosplay! She’ll be presenting her Cosplay 101 Panel!

Rules:

*Cosplay is NOT Consent.
*Cosplay is for EVERYONE.
Should any Cosplayer feel uncomfortable, be harassed, etc, PLEASE alert a Wolfthorne Staff Member IMMEDIATELY. We will take care of it. Staff Members are marked with a special Lanyard.

*Respect the space. No littering, no damaging anything and be mindful of your large props.

*In light of this event being family friendly, we do ask our Cosplayers to be respectful when speaking to each other-you never know what little ears may hear!

*Cosplays MUST cover as much as a two piece bathing suit for feminine characters and as much as a pair of full front and back underwear for masculine characters. Keep it classy, Everyone!

*Prop Weapons ONLY. Your weapons will be checked by Wolfthorne & Veda staff at the door. Keep it safe, Everyone!

***The Venue is UPSTAIRS. The building is a historic one and does not have an elevator, so PLEASE DO NOT wear extra long cosplays or large cumbersome ones up the stairs. Feel free to put them on inside, but keep yourselves SAFE and watch out for one another on the stairs.***

*Most importatntly of all–
HAVE FUN!
