Garrison Carida is proud to once again be a part of STEEL CITY CON, which will be held on March 2nd, 3rd, and 4th , 2012 at the Monroeville Convention Center, in Monroeville, PA. This is a very special year for Garrison Carida as we are celebrating the 10th anniversary of our Garrison, and Steel City Con is one of our most exciting events of the year, that our troopers flock to in force. This upcoming Steel City Con is really special, as there will be three very exciting Star Wars Celebrities in attendance.
Topping things off, is an amazing opportunity that no Star Wars Fan will want to miss. For the first time ever, Billy Dee Williams, and his son, Corey Dee Williams, will be appearing together to meet and greet fans and sign autographs. Billy Dee Williams is of course very well known for his portrayal of Lando Calrissian in the Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. However, not commonly known, among casual Star Wars fans, is that Billy’s son, Corey, portrayed Klaatu, one of Jabba the Hutt’s henchmen in Return of the Jedi. These two Icons of the Star Wars universe will be appearing on Saturday from 12:00 PM -4:00 PM. and Sunday from 12:00PM until 3:00PM.
As if that opportunity is not enough, Anthony Daniels, the man who portrayed the Golden Protocol Droid, C-3PO in all six Star Wars Films, and continues to voice the famous droid in the Clone Wars animated series, as well as host the popular Star Wars in Concert. Mr. Daniels will be in attendance on Saturday from 10:00 AM- 6:00PM. to meet and greet with fans and sign autographs.
Of course there will be other highly recognized celebrities from Television and Film in attendance, as well as dozens of famous artists from the realm of Comics and Trading cards. Tons of vendors will also be on hand with a wide variety of Current and Vintage collectibles available at prices that will be hard to resist.
As part of our continuing tradition of attending Steel City Con, Garrison Carida will once again be collecting unopened Star Wars Toys to be given to patients at various Children's Hospitals throughout Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Delaware. Our troopers conduct several visits to these hospitals annually, and Steel City Con has always been one of our most generous donation points throughout the year. As a special thank you for each donated toy, you will recieve a ticket for a raffle which our troopers hold at the conclusion of the Convention. Three exciting prizes are offered which generally consist of some kind of Star Wars collectible
Garrison Carida encourages everyone with an interest in Popular Culture to come out to Steel City Con for a rare opportunity to meet these three popular Star Wars actors. Be sure to bring your camera and feel free to get some pictures with our Troopers as well. This will truly be a Weekend- Long Remembered.
