Rey Ramos, the event coordinator for Lubbock-Con, said the convention\u2019s goal is to have fun, impact the community and bring people together.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cSo, Lubbock-Con started with a group of people who wanted to have a convention where everybody can have their fandom come together and meet other people who are like-minded, who enjoy the same fandoms,\u201d Ramos said. \u201cBut the biggest difference between our shows and other shows is that it is a nonprofit organization, so nobody gets paid to do this \u2014 and this is our 10-year anniversary.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Those who missed Saturday\u2019s events can attend the second day of Lubbock-Con on Sunday at the Civic Center from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.<\/p>\n<p class=\"copyright |\">Copyright 2026 KCBD.
