The Rocket - Seattle, WA (September 1988) |
According to newspaper advertisements from the time, Mr. Roddenberry presented a special called The Shape Of Tomorrow to fans in attendance. There was also a costume contest, a screening of a Star Trek blooper reel, and I'm sure there were many other vendors and activities for fans in attendance. It sounds like it was a hell of a lot of fun!
