NebrasKon Exhibition Room

Come enjoy the new NebrasKon Exhibition Room! This year, you can walk into a replica of the Dr. Who TARDIS. The console is from the era of Tom Baker (the Fourth Doctor). There will also be a Dr. Who K-9 unit running around with a Star Wars R2 unit, both working replicas. There will be also items from Stargate SG-1. Come check out these items, carefully crafted by local fans. Besides the items to see, other Exhibition Room activities include a Doctor Who photoshoot from 2:15-2:45 p.m., and a live fan film recording. If interested in participating in the fan film, please contact Moose Mendolia on facebook. Thanks, we look forward to seeing you soon!
