Natsu no Tsubasacon goes into the books on a sweaty Saturday, June 25, where the sun beamed and cosplayers dodged slippery spots from the prior rains.

The picnic serves as a summer get together prelude for the September 30-October 2 anime, gaming and cosplay convention at the Big Sandy Superstore Arena in Downtown Huntington.

Saturday's potluck picnic brought out a couple hundred participants , most in costume.

Scroll below for an image gallery of some of those in attendance. The gallery begins with Sailor Moon and her Scouts then continues to other attendees and some close ups during preparation for the "group shot."
