RustyCon Costume Contest (Masquerade)

This year RustyCon is bringing back the Masquerade Costume Contest! Now is the time to start hauling out those sewing machines and bolts of fabric and show us what real costuming is all about! This year we are having a Time Travel/ Military themed convention, so dust off those uniforms and formal attire and join us at the costumed events. OR better yet, show us your science fiction/ fantasy creations!

RustyCon has always enjoyed our members in costume and this year we are celebrating Costuming with our Master Costumer Guest of Honor JoAnne Kirley, who will be heading up our panel of judges at this year’s contest.

Applications for the Masquerade will be available at Registration and at the RustyCon office.


Callahan’s Cross Time Saloon

Do you like to dance? We do. Come to Callahan’s on Friday Night and dance the night away. We will have 4 dance contests, show us your skills and see if you can walk away with the crown. The Judges will be the fantastic Tempting Tarts.

8:30pm- The Carolina Shag
9:30pm- The Jitterbug
10:30pm- Swing
11:30pm- The Lindy Hop

Each contest will last for 20 minutes; if you are tapped on the shoulder then you are out and must exit the dance floor. If you are the last one left on the dance floor then you will take home the crown.

If you are not up to being a contestant join the Tempting Tarts on the dance floor in between the contests. They will be filling their dance cards for a donation for each dance. Minimum is a $5 donation. Anything that is donated will be donated to the USO to help send care packages to the soldiers.

Wander over to the Casino and try your hand at a couple card games, there will be old favorites and even some with a twist.

Remember to dress to impress, the judges will be out and about looking for Hall Costumes that catch their eye.

And for those of you that 1940’s just isn’t your thing, Callahan’s will become modern again at midnight, join your DJs until the wee hours of the morning spinning your favorites. If you have music you would like to hear at the dance on Friday or Saturday night please email special events and we will pass the requests on.
