Do you want to go back to a simpler time…like the '90s? If so, check out 90s Con in Hartford this weekend. This is a convention that celebrates the iconic TV shows and stars of his decade.
'90s fans lined up early Saturday morning to enjoy a little slice of the fun of the past.
More than 50 celebrities attended 90's Con, including Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon, who co-starred in the 1991 film “Thelma & Louise,” gathered in Downtown Hartford.
“I live in New York, and when I found out she was coming, I was like, 'Buy a ticket, buy a ticket,'” said one 90s fan.
A mother from Trumbull came to the event filled with nostalgia and bought VIP tickets so she and her son couldn't wait in line. Although he didn't grow up in his '90s, all his knowledge of his '90s came from his mother.
“He enjoys everything that I love. He enjoys everything, which makes it easy to spend time together,” said Kelly Anderson of Trumbull.
Thousands of people will be in Hartford this weekend to see their favorite celebrities at 90s Con.
There were also cast members from shows like “Sabrina the Teenage Witch,” “Boy Meets World,” “Dawson's Creek” and “Full House.”
“It's a lot of fun. You get to talk to the fans, you get to meet the fans, because when you're in that little TV box you don't get to see them,” said Dave, who plays the uncle. Courier said. Joey from Full House said:
When we asked what it's like to meet the fans and be here, Courier replied, “They're so great.”
Joey Gladstone, the Courier from Full House, was also great. When asked to do some of his signature lines, he quickly returned to the character and did away with his Bullwinkle impression.
Organizer Sue Procco said 90's Con was an exciting time for fans across the state and beyond.
“They come from the South and the West Coast to meet the famous people who shaped their childhood and teenage years,” Procco said.
Sunday is the last day of 90s Con.
