Miscellaneous Notes:
Costumer Guest of Honor: Janet Wilson Anderson
Costume-Con 33’s Special Guest Miss Janet Wilson Anderson: As a rule Costume-Con usually doesn’t have a Special or Featured Guest like other cons, however we wanted to honor a very special friend who is well known throughout the costuming community.
