Throughout the week teens participated in a library Fandom Time scavenger hunt, a Fandom Games night featuring Doctor Who Guess Who and Harry Potter Guess Who, Fandom Concentration, Zombie Nerf Target Shooting, a Fandom Trivia Night, a viewing of Princess Mononoke, and a Cosplay Fandom Party.

A huge thanks to the teens who helped make these programs awesome and Domino's Pizza for donating pizza for our teen Cosplay party!

Everyone was invited to make figures or items from their favorite fandoms out of Fimo. Check out the tiny Pikachu below!



 
My favorite part of the night was watching all the cosplayers play Just Dance on the Wii!
