Sing along: FenCon IV Music Guest of Honor Tom Smith had such a good time at FenCon that he immortalized us in song. With Tom's kind permission, you can download "The FenCon Song" and enjoy it forever. Be sure to check out Tom Smith Online for more of Tom's fine work.


FenCon Designated Charity

Our designated charity for FenCon IV was the North Texas Food Bank. Our charity auction and the limited-edition David Mattingly cover print raised a total of $2000 for this worthy cause. The North Texas Food Bank passionately pursues a hunger-free community. In 2006, the NTFB distributed 32 million pounds of food to 764 feeding and education programs in 13 North Texas counties, including after-school programs, residential treatment programs, food pantries, emergency shelters, soup kitchens, senior citizen centers and low-income daycare centers.
