We’ve got the venue locked in, our amazing decorator Bob Lee is on board, and by popular demand, Innovative Hybrid Wrestling (IHW) is returning to bring the heat! Plus, we’re thrilled to announce 6 fantastic local comic and arts guests are already confirmed! Mark your calendars and stay tuned to this page and https://elsi-con.com/ for more updates as we make Elsi-Con 2026 even bigger and better!

💥A Massive Thank You for Making Elsi-Con 2025 a Roaring Success!💥

We are beyond thrilled to share that our 1st ever Elsi-Con was a great success, and it went off without any major hiccups! A huge shoutout to everyone who made this unforgettable day possible in Elsipogtog!

Thank You to Our Incredible Guests: Adam Beach, Glen Gould, Jon Ambrose, Michael de Adder, Brianna June, Jason Lawson, Andrew Clark, Tony White, Mason Harold Hal Hilden, Devin Taylor, and Larry P Higgins. Your presence and energy lit up the event!

🧙‍♂️Cosplay Team Extraordinaire: A special thank you to our Cosplay Directors, Su Hyun Kim-Ouellette & Sebastien Ouellette. Su, our renowned cosplay specialist, was an exceptional judge, and Seb was absolutely phenomenal as both MC for the cosplay contest and the entire event—your mic skills were ! Congratulations to our $1000 Best in Show winner Ricky Terri Whyte and runner-up, Sabrina Barrette (aka EastCoast Harlequinn), for their stunning performances!

🦹‍♂️IHW Wrestling: You brought the house down! The kids’ reactions were pure joy, exactly what we hoped for. We can’t wait to have you back next year!

🪶Community Support: This event wouldn’t have happened without the incredible backing of Chief and Council, our Arena Manager and crew, Harrisville Canteen, The 20 Fresh Fine Foods, Indige-Watch, and Elsipogtog Public Safety. Your support was the backbone of Elsi-Con!

☀️Vendors: Thank you for taking a chance on our first event and for your patience as we worked out the kinks. We’ve identified areas to improve, and next year’s experience will be even better!

🙋‍♀️Volunteers: Our 18 amazing volunteers were the heart of this event, ensuring our guests and patrons had a fantastic time. You were incredible!

🙌Our Dream Team: Susan Levi-Peters, Fabien Peters, Kylie Francis, and Brad MacDonald pulled off the unthinkable, organizing this event in just 9 weeks! A special nod to Scott Tingley of the East Coast Comic Expo, whose conversation with Susan sparked this idea, making him the founding father of Elsi-Con. Derek Hansen’s logo designs, marketing materials, floor plan design, and expert guidance were invaluable, and Cindy Plourde stepped up as Volunteer Coordinator, managing the day with finesse. Scott, Derek, and Cindy were pivotal to the event’s success, especially on game day. Despite a few minor issues, the team handled everything with grace, and we’re already planning to make next year even smoother!

🐬Ren Peters & Btzuru: Ren, your passion was the spark that brought Elsi-Con to life. This wouldn’t have happened without you!

🤝Partners: A huge thank you to Hub City Productions for their stellar video and audio work and Bob Lee Productions for making the show look absolutely spectacular! Also Brad Web Design for getting the website up and keeping it updated throughout the process.

🎉We’re already buzzing with excitement for Elsi-Con 2026! Thank you, Elsipogtog, for showing up and making our first event one for the books!
