    ConNooga is a direct result of what FanForce can do. Chattooine started out attending another local convention, but a few members wanted more out of their local sci-fi con. The result? ConNooga! Obviously it's much more than a sci-fi con as we all have different interests. We wanted to create a con that we wanted to attend, and it's SO MUCH more than we ever dreamed as we grew and grew. The focus was to be on programming. We wanted to make it difficult to decide which panel to go to next. We literally wanted people to make a tough choice on what they'd MISS by going to another panel.

    Anyway, this is year number eight. At first, most of Chattooine worked staff so we never really had a FanForce presence (no one was available to work a fan table!). We did run the annual Star Wars vs Star Trek debate (one of the biggest attended events every year). This year, however, we'll finally have a fan table! So we'll be promoting Chattooine and FanForce in general.
