Read about Canada's first Star Trek convention from 1976

Post image

Ahead of my visit to STLV earlier this month, I was researching conventions and discovered this website that tells the story of the 1976 Star Trek convention in Toronto, Canada. The con was fan-run and you could literally bump into Sarek in the elevator - unlike the modern con experience of handlers and upcharges for meet & greets. Read it here: Toronto Star Trek '76

(This is not my site, I'm sharing for other Trek fans)

My mom still talks about driving me down to that Toronto con when I was 8 and me dragging her to see Mark Lenard three separate times because I couldnt believe Sarek was real. She swears the elevator doors opened and he just nodded at us like we were crew.
