e'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.

rFest 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.
