It recognizes the event’s role in promoting community engagement, creative arts, cosplay, storytelling, and participation by fans, creators, vendors, local artists, writers, and entrepreneurs.
The resolution also highlights the event’s broader cultural and economic contributions to the Fredericksburg region and the Commonwealth, describing it as a signature event that supports education, innovation, and a welcoming environment. It directs the Clerk of the House of Delegates to present a copy of the resolution to the organizers as an expression of appreciation.
