Mandarin Mini Con 2016
December 3, 2016
Mythical Mountain
Jacksonville, FL
Comic Convention
Mandarin MiniCon was born when Candy Keane from Three Muses Clothing met Kathy Murray from Mythical Mountain. Both retail shops in the Mandarin Square Plaza wanted to bring more awareness to their location. Kathy asked Candy if she wanted to do an event. Candy said, "Yes, there's something I've been wanting to do for a while, but it may sound kind of crazy." Kathy said, "I love it, let's do it." And the rest is history.
The two business partnered together and invited other local businesses and vendors to be part of the event, then plans grew to include a costume contest, DJ, food trucks and performers. All with a focus on keeping things free, fun and family-friendly.
The first event went so well that MMC is now a regular bi-annual, one-day event that continues to evolve and bring together fans of comics, video games, anime and more. While small, MMC and its hosts have a lot of heart and passion for the industry and its fans. We're also fans ourselves! We want everyone to have a fun and safe time while here, and only hope to see MMC grow more in the future. And while Three Muses no longer has a retail shop in the plaza, the business continues online at ThreeMusesClothing.com. Candy is now happily part of the Mythical Mountain family with her TMC office and workshop inside, which makes it even easier for her and Kathy to continue brainstorming their crazy ideas.
We look forward to seeing everyone at our next!
