Special thanks go to Jim Battles, Beau Kaelin and Tony Hardy for the images.
It's not too early to plan for WF20 - our 20th anniversary show in May 2009!!
 We'll be pulling out all the stops for 2009 to celebrate 20 years of hobby escape for thousands of loyal WonderFesters. We're well into planning an awesome program that combines horror and s-f in our WF tradition. Since it's a mere 10 months away, don't wait. Reserve your hotel room now and mark your calendars for WF20, May 16-17, 2009.
It'll be great to be back in our newly-renovated mothership hotel. The Executive West Hotel--soon to become the Crowne Plaza --is now ready to take reservations. Just call 1-800-626-2708, and ask for room block code WON. The special room rate is $95 per night for up to 4 people in the room.
 A weekend to remember as another one hits the history books!
WonderFest 2008 was a huge success despite the split-venue challenge of our main hotel being in the midst of a renovation. It's hard to keep a good show down when the fans arrive determined to have a blast!
Attendees enjoyed our great guests, (such as 2001 actor Keir Dullea, shown grinning above trying on a replica of his famous space helmet), the most stunning exhibits we've ever had, a huge contest turnout with awesome models, great dealers, fun photo ops with Star Wars and dino props, and much more. As reviews appear online we'll link to them here.
