Medford Comic Con organizers expect crowd of 10,000

Medford, Ore. — Organizers of Medford’s Comic Con are gearing up for this year’s event; they’re expecting around 10,000 people.

Fifty vendors have already applied, and organizers say the event is still growing. On Thursday, they went before the Medford City Council, to notify them of the magnitude.

“Just based on the growth last year, some of the chatter we’re hearing within the various communities that are part of Comic Con, we’re expecting that we could easily double this year,” Maureen Swift said.

Swift is the President of the Jackson County Library District, which is co-sponsoring the event with Rogue Community College.

Medford’s Comic Con is the only free event of it’s kind on the West Coast. It’s taking place on April 29th. For more information, click here.
