HUTCHINSON, Kan. — This year’s Smallville Con finished Sunday with another good crowd. Organizer Jon Robinson said Saturday was extremely busy:

 

The event is held each year on the fairgrounds as a celebration of all things pop culture and comic books and included over 130 vendor booths, cosplayers, special events, celebrity guests, artists, children’s events, giveaways, and much more. Robinson says it has definitely grown over the last year:

 

Robinson built one of the event’s biggest spectacles himself:

 

One of the guest stars was Corin Nemec, who played parts in Parker Lewis Can’t Lose, Jonas Quinn and Stargate SG-1, as well as the ABC miniseries, The Stand.

Nemec talked about the 90’s show Parker Lewis Can’t Lose:

 

He says the show is not on the air any more in the United States, but in Europe, it’s a whole different thing:

 

Nemec also talked about coming to events like Smallville Con and explained why he enjoys doing them:

 

Superman himself, Dean Cain, was the biggest draw for visitors of this year’s con. During his panel on Saturday, Cain stopped the Q&A to help an audience member propose to his girlfriend. Cain delighted the crowd by announcing he was happy to be home in “Smallville.”

Cain told the panel he always saw Christopher Reeve as the real Superman. Cain said he played Clark Kent and explored that character’s life in Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman with Teri Hatcher. Cain said Reeve embodied what it meant to be a super man in his real life.

An audience member asked Cain who his favorite superhero was — other than Superman, of course. Cain surprised the audience by picking Ryan Reynold’s Deadpool. He joked that the child who asked the question would have to wait at least 10 years before seeing that franchise.

The weekend also included a car show, live wrestling and a costume contest.
