After being held at Everett Meredith Middle School and MTown Sports Complex in previous years, the third annual Galactic Con is moving to its largest location yet: Appoquinimink High School (1080 Bunker Hill Road, Middletown.)



From 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, the locally-created comic con of sorts will offer more than 100 vendors, artists and guests paired with a cosplay contest and more.



Vendors specializing in comics, toys, books and pop culture will join artists displaying their work.

The local chapter of the 501st Legion, an international fan-based organization that builds and wears screen-accurate "Star Wars" replicas, will be on site. And BB-8 builders will also be at Galactic Con with some life-size BB-8s to go with the "Star Wars" guys.



General admission is $5 per person or $10 per family. Special early bird admission (10 a.m.) will also be available for $10 per person. Tickets are available at the door or in advance through galactic-con.com.
