The idea
“Northwest Ohio doesn’t have this. We’ve driven hours to find a show that gets it — where every booth belongs, where the art is dark and the crowd actually cares. Toledo has the scene. We have The Pale Horse, House of Wax, a paranormal community that doesn’t quit. What we don’t have is a weekend that pulls it all together. So we’re building one.”
