Comic and Toy Fair to pop off in Geelong

THOUSANDS of people will flock to the Norlane ARC Auditorium this weekend for what is shaping as the biggest Geelong Comic and Toy Fair yet.

More than 45 statewide vendors will be showcasing top comics, toys, collectibles and replica items this Sunday, October 26.

The event concept has been highly successful this year, with two Geelong Comic and Toy Fair’s packing out the Geelong West Town Hall in April and July.

Due to growing demand, the event has been moved to a bigger venue in Norlane to accommodate the huge crowds expected throughout the day.

Event organiser Evin Bryant said all eyes were on making it the biggest one Geelong has ever seen.

“We are very excited to be in a new venue and be doing the biggest marketing push we’ve ever done.

“We have been really trying to get the word out there across social media and have been putting signs, posters and pamphlets out in Geelong and Melbourne. We are pulling out all the stops.

“There will be more vendors, more stock, and more community promotional groups coming to showcase their offering.”

He said the good people of Geelong and those travelling from afar are sure to find some treasures to fill their collection.

“We’ve got a guy selling vintage movie posters this year which will be super interesting.

“There’ll be a few new pop culture and arts vendors, which are sure to bring the excitement.

“We want people to really believe this is a happy enthusiastic place to come, and we feel this is really working for us at the moment.”
