I love this kind of story, the city in Canada named Vulcan will receive a visit from none other than Leonard Nemoy himself as he will also make an appearance at the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo. How cool would that be to live in a city named Vulcan, you could call yourself a Vulcan and get away with it on a daily basis!
From the article:
"Great thing about Nimoy is that he's a 'face character'," he said, explaining that if you see his face, you recognize him right away. "Leonard is almost like the godfather of the science fiction culture."
Because it is such a unique event, people from all over are showing interest in making the trek to see Spock during the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo, he added.
About 12,000 people are expected to come through the expo, but Foong thinks that could be shattered.
He also said that while there's usually only one guest Star Trek actor at the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo, this year will have another guest. Brent Spiner, the actor who played Data on Star Trek: The Next Generation, is also scheduled to visit, said Foong.
Now that CBS recognizes the town of Vulcan as a licensed Star Trek destination, there are no longer concerns of copyright infringements.
"We are now the official Star Trek capital of Canada," Dickens told the Advocate.
