Steamcon is something we definitely need to do again

On October 26th and 27th, the Sapulpa Library held its first annual “Steamcon” which is a “Steampunk Pop Culture Convention” hosted by the Sapulpa Public Library through grants from SeneGence and the Muscogee Creek Nation.

It was a glorious gathering of fellow nerds and a sight to behold. There were displays of Steampunk items as well as Steampunk items for sale. There were science demonstrations and demonstrations by the Sapulpa High School robotics team. There were people in Cosplay costumes, comic book characters, and a live podcast covering the event by Comic Book Straight Talk, a stop-motion animation display, a computer-lab, hands-on workstation, a fabrication lab, where one could get a custom-made leather mask which was laser-cut on the spot. A 1983 Zimmer was displayed by its owner, as part of the Route 66 Auto Museum. Gaming tables, graphic art demonstrations, and vendors selling everything from Steampunk items to great food tantalized the attendees. Genre authors sold and signed their books.
