Well, another year another Pensacon completed. The con closed with 30,000 in attendance. This year saw the first year we stepped up to represent the 405th.
The con had a huge turn out with celebrities: John Barrowman, Arthur Darvill, Brent Spiner, and more. We drew a lot attention to the group and managed to pick up two ODSTs and a Spartan. We learned there were a lot of people that had suits in some stage of construction, and seeing that there was a local prescense really helped inspire them to finish there suits.
Trooping at the event was an adventure. With a majority of the 30k attendees showing up on Saturday, we had all hands on board with a total of nine people trooping. I have to give a shout out to SunnyLadybug087 for taking the lead as our handler.
During the event we managed to raise $500 for Operation Supply Drop by giving away a Reach shotgun, two plasma pistols, and an ODST helmet. We certainly hope to continue our work with them, and hopefully, make a bigger impact.
It was a great event and we certainly hope to continue to group the community, and maybe one day get even more Spartans and Helljumpers to come join the party.
