The Local Take: Dragon Con Returns To Atlanta Labor Day Weekend, Calling Captain Kirk

Dennis Matheson
Dragon Con Parade, Downtown Atlanta

On the Saturday morning, August 27 edition of The Local Take on Jazz 91.9 WCLK,  I talked with Dan Carroll about the 2016 Dragon Con event.  The event will run Labor Day weekend, Friday, September 2 through Monday, August 5 in Downtown Atlanta.  For the first time the  famous Dragon Con Parade will be televised live on the CW Network WUPA 69 at 10:00 a.m., Saturday, September 3.  This year's star attendees are William Shatner, the original Captain Kirk of the Starship Enterprise; the stars of IZombie; and, familiar names from television, movies, music and comics.   The comic book section has grown so large that they will be in their own area at America's Mart, as this home-grown event grows in stature and space. You can register and find out about the various tracks to follow at www.DragonCon.org. I look forward to seeing the Cosplay and Sci-Fi communities in numbers at Dragon Con 2016.
