OutsideCon

The Main Lodge Lake Woodhaven

Along time ago, someone had the idea of having Science-Fiction/Fantasy Conventions. All was good, for a time.....

Then from a far off place (Robert Embler's head) came an idea so unlike all other Sci-Fi Cons it just had to be acted on. Because of that idea from the head in that far off place, we now have the institution of OutsideCon, the worlds only Sci-Fi con held in the great outdoors.

This Year our theme will be
"Medieval"
With a "Queen for a Day" contest (sorry ladies only).

OutsideCon has returned home to the beautiful Montgomery Bell State Park at 1020 Jackson Hill Road, Burns, TN. Not only do you get a great convention you get to camp out, hike, swim, fish and boat, if you have one, all for the price of the con.

As always, OutsideCon provides plenty of Food, Merriment and Mayhem. It does not, nor has ever, provided alcoholic beverages. However patrons, fans and family are welcome to BYOB and may imbibe on the premises. Just pick up after yourselves. Tennessee law prohibits the possession and/or consumption of alcohol by persons under 21 years of age.

Directions:

I-40 West from Nashville, to Exit 182 (Fairview/Dickson Hwy. 96 Exit). Turn left (West) onto Highway 96. Stay on Highway 96 until it dead ends at Highway 70. Turn right (East) on Highway 70, off-ramp provided. Stay on Highway 70 approximately 3 miles. Park entrance is on the right.

From Memphis (I-40):Take I-40 East to Exit 182 (Fairview/Dickson Hwy. 96 Exit). Turn left (West) onto Highway 96. Stay on Highway 96 until it dead ends at Highway 70. Turn right (East) on Highway 70, off-ramp provided. Stay on Highway 70 approximately 3 miles. Park entrance is on the right.

Location:

Group Camp #1 at Montgomery Bell State park. This is the same location where the award winning "Earnest Goes to Camp" was filmed. It survived the movie but can it survive another "Bob goes to Camp" (aka: Camp Runamuck). You do not have to camp out but you can if you want to. Group Camp #1 can sleep 120 persons in individual bunks with mattresses. These are mostly in four person cabins. And YES, there is HOT water in the restroom/shower buildings. Cabins are limited and will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Tents are welcome and might be needed if you do not pre-reg and request a cabin early.

What to Bring: Sheets, blankets, pillows and sleeping bags if staying in cabins, as well as flashlights, personal toiletries and lots of good friends who want to have a good time. Games and other things you like
