Exhibits

Linda Lounsbury displayed t shirts, artifacts, fanzines in the Fanhistoricon suite (2214).

A TV ran MinnStf videos and other older Worldcon videos. Videos presented may have included a series of 'commercials' done for MidAmericon by MinnStf at that time used as masquerade filler.

Since Minicon budget had problems, Minicon couldn't cover the cost of videotaping. Jeff Berry volunteered to cover the costs of audio/video taping all panels and stuff.
