The Gamers Guild at Slippery Rock University hosted its inaugural "Rock-Con" Oct. 21 at the Slippery Rock Community Library. Described as an "open house" type of event, the convention featured card, board and role-play games along with a cosplay contest, charity raffle and refreshments. All proceeds from the convention were donated to the 283-square foot library, currently nestled in Slippery Rock Community Park, as it continues to fundraise for its new building to be built on Main Street. Construction is expected to begin in 2018. The event also featured a "Star Wars" lightsaber lesson conducted by The Outer Rim Praxeum Lightsaber School from Fairmont, West Virginia.
