Community Guest of Honor Jean Batt

As a third generation fan, he grew up encouraged in the arts. He has worked for years in the film, drag, burlesque, dj and art worlds, but has always blended with his fannish nature. In the past few years, he has won awards putting his work on the national and international lime light. He has used that lime light and talent to help those around himself; anything from a friend who was fighting cancer who had lost his medical insurance to trans kids.
