Altoona, PA Events: Community Calendar

Over 1,200 sci-fi fans came out to support our first ever Sci-Fi Valley Con in Ebensburg in 2012. For 2013 Sci-Fi Valley Con part II will be bigger and better than you can imagine. We are moving the convention to Altoona so that we can fit all the entertainment, exhibitors, and guests under one roof. Sci-Fi Valley Con part II is what you've been waiting for! It's a New Paradigm in Sci-Fi.

Bring your compass (or borrow one of ours) to learn the basics of orienteering. This is a high adventure sport, focusing on cross country navigation.
