Walking Dead fandom: The Camp annual charity event this weekend
By Renee Hansen
Fans of The Walking Dead series are feeling somewhat nostalgic as the series quickly draws to a close. The fandom will live on in the form of several spinoff series, but nothing will ever take the place of the original. During times like these is best to come together with other fans and celebrate the greatness of TWD Family. The Camp will host its annual fall event in Peachtree City, Georgia, October 28-30 at The Hilton Peachtree City Conference Center.
The Camp is a bi-annual charity event that hosts various guests from TWDU and beyond. Attendees arrive as fans and leave as a member of the family. This event is an intimate take on the traditional con atmosphere where fans and celebrities are brought together for a very unique experience.
Often described as a family reunion, The Camp offers fans a chance to reacquaint with friends they have made at previous Camp events and meet up with new ones. Celebrity guests mingle with attendees keeping respectful of one another, making for a delightful event for all.
This year’s benefitting charity will Hearts ‘n Homes Rescue. You can read about the charity and how the donated money will be utilized here.
