Ready for an immersive experience you won’t ever forget? TeslaCon, the largest immersion steampunk convention in North America, is back and taking us all back through history with this year’s convention. There will be pirates, there will be monsters, there will be a Buccaneers Ball. Oh yes, and there will be dinosaurs! The Mystery of Kraken Island will be a fun, fan-filled romp through old explorer films like “The Land that Time Forgot” and also newer films like “Pirates of the Caribbean.”
Come for the whole convention or just a day. There will be a Vendors’ Room with vendors from more than 15 states showing off Steampunk wares and designs for purchase. Interested in volunteering? Click here.

TeslaCon has donated 150 FREE tickets to the children’s “The World of Dinosaurs Show,” hosted by Mr. Ed’s Dinosaurs, which will be at 9:30-10:30 a.m., Nov. 9, at the Marriott. This show will include amazing animatronic dinosaurs in a show specifically designed to entertain children. They are offering free tickets — first come, first serve — to families who come to the Middleton Visitors Center to pick them up between now and Nov. 8. Families may claim up to five free tickets (for parent/guardians and children under the age of 15). Children MUST be accompanied by an adult.
Following the show, families are encouraged to visit the TeslaCon Vendors room for free until noon (normally, one has to purchase a ticket).
