The Future of Chessiecon
You are invited to the next Thanksgiving Science Fiction Society meeting on Sunday, December 1. The Thanksgiving Science Fiction Society intends to continue its mission. Your involvement is essential in determining the nature of future Chessiecons and other activities. See the meeting announcement on the right for details.
Chessiecon 2024 Status
At the December 17, 2023, meeting it was decided there was not enough money in the TSFS treasury or membership to consider holding an in-person Chessiecon in 2024.
We continue to consider other events or activities that TSFS can sponsor. The current limitation, besides the treasury, are people willing to support the activities. If you want to see Chessiecon return in the future, you are encouraged to attend future TSFS meetings or email info to volunteer.

A small con with a 45-year tradition
Chessiecon is a science fiction and fantasy convention put on by the Thanksgiving Science Fiction Society to continue in the tradition of DarkoverCon. The con emphasizes the work of women creators of science fiction and fantasy in literature and art. Chessiecon has over 200 hours of programming including writing, music, gaming, art, and science. Come and browse the dealer room featuring an eclectic mix of handmade items, books, games, and more. Join in the traditional Turkey Awards and the Midnight Hallelujah Chorus.
The convention is run entirely by volunteers. See the Volunteers page if you want to help.
