The incredible staff, volunteers, and game masters, Gary Con has been proud to host the celebration of Gary’s life with a continued emphasis on creating fun, friendly and high quality gaming experiences for our attendees. It is with that priority in mind that we have decided, after many hours of internal deliberation and consultation with the Grand Geneva leadership, that we should cancel this year’s event.  We decided that the health and well-being of our gaming family comes first. We continued planning and did everything in our power to make Gary Con run as normal, we are convinced that following both government guidance and our own judgement concerning the COVID-19 virus is the best course of action."[URL unfurl="true"]https://garycon.com/gary-con-xii-cancelled-due-to-the-increased-risks-of-covid-19/[/URL]The Grand Geneva Resort, which was hosting the event, has allowed the event to be cancelled with no fee.
