World SF Convention Will Celebrate Star Trek
Posted by Donna Dolezal Zelzer on May 6th, 2006
Star Trek’s 40th Anniversary will be celebrated at the 64th World Science Fiction Convention (”Worldcon”),which takes place August 23-27, 2006, in Anaheim, California.
Forty years ago, just days before Star Trek first aired, the show’s creator, Gene Roddenberry, attended the 24th World Science Fiction Convention in Cleveland, Ohio to let the fans know about his new show. He brought Sam Peeples, one of the writers, and screened two episodes: the original pilot, “The Cage,” and “What Are Little Girls Made Of?”
The organizers of the 64th Convention say “With that association, how could L.A.con IV, the 64th World Science Fiction Convention, not commemorate and celebrate the 40th anniversary of Star Trek?”
This year the convention will have hundreds of speakers and program items over its five-day run at the Anaheim Convention Center. And a portion of that program, as well as the convention’s extensive exhibits, will be dedicated to Star Trek, the people who created it, and the fans who love it.
