The convention, which drew more than 23,000 fans last year, runs through Sunday. Hours Saturday are 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Sunday hours are 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.

ANCEA is a non-profit organization and as such calls its admission price, which is $75 at the door, a "registration" which confers the attendee membership in its organization.
