Release your inner nerd and experience the sixth annual Owen Sound Mini Comicon, Saturday, May 5 at the Owen Sound & North Grey Union Public Library.

Starting at 10:00 am, the Owen Sound Mini Comicon presents an entire day of programming, including videogame tournaments, board games with Scenic City Game Emporium, the Owen Sound Ghostbusters, an artist's alley, button making, prize draws, a cosplay showcase and more. This event is mostly free, but bring money if you would like to purchase a snack at the Superhero Café, buy something from one of our exhibiting artists or make a donation toward future OSMiCon events.

In addition to all of this, the Library with the support of the Tom Thomson Art Gallery will be screening the animated film, "The Breadwinner" in the Library Auditorium on Friday, May 4.
