More of SoonerCon 4's Program Book -- 1988

Just before SoonerCon 25, I posted the first few pages of the SoonerCon 4 Program Book.

Here are more.

 Octavia Butler was our literary GOH.

 Sweet Angela Bostick, aka Lowry, was our Artist GOH.

 Margaret Middleton was Fan GOH.

 Melinda Murdock was another writer guest.

These are pages 6-14 of the book; that's all that are scanned, so far!

Thanks for joining me into a look at SoonerCon's part!

SoonerCon 4: Program Book 1st Instalment

SoonerCon 4 was held at the Central Plaza Hotel on October 21-23, 1988.

 Wonderful art from Angela then-Bostick, now Angela Lowry.  Our Big-Name-Guest line-up was all distaff, and this cover lines up our guests with Muses.  Who is the representative of Science?  Is it Toastmaster MS Murdock?  The central place is our Writer GOH, the gracious Octavia Butler; and the representative of the Muse of the Arts is Our Angela .

 Our charity was the YWCA Battered Women's Shelter.  We raised $900 for them.  We also raised $200 for the Warren Norwood Fund.

 This welcome from Chair David Means lays it all out.  We also have another fine bit of art by Angela.

The ConComm and other stuff.  You may notice that I was the President of STAR OKC for long enough to write the "Welcome to SoonerCon" letter.  That was due to attrition, and soon remedied at the January, 1989 STAR OKC elections.

Here's the typical "Policies" page, with some more art by Angela.

Thanks for stopping by.

1988 - SoonerCon 4 Pocket Program

Here's the pocket Program from SoonerCon 4, held October 21-22-23, 1988, at OKC's central Plaza Hotel.

Art is by Angela Bostick.

I shouldn't be surprised if this filler art is by Bill Hodgson.

See you again soon, I hope!

 

SoonerCon 4 Dealers' Rom Info - The Con Suite

SoonerCon 4 was held at the Central Plaza Hotel in OKC on Fri-Sat-Sun, October 21-22-23, 1988.  Here is the Dealers' Room handout:

 

As you can see, Wall Tables were $50, and Aisle Tables were $40 each.  Bring your own extension cords so you can play the videotapes you're selling!

 

 

If you could find somebody to watch your table, you could sneak off to the Con Suite, which provided pop, snacks, and (at some SoonerCons) beer to this with ID.

 

 



These fine fellow are (L-R):  Vice-Chair Jon Powell (also in charge of Dealer's Room); STAR OKC member Mike Powell (NO RELATION); and some unknown attendee.

I hope it won't be months until our next bit of coverage of SoonerCon 4!
