Special thanks to all the guests and artists and featured Talent as well as our very enthusiastic volunteers, without you we would not be able to pull off another successful show. We are already planning for 2011’s Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo, please stay tuned for more details and updates as the year progresses.
