Kids Need to Read regretfully announces that actor Nathan Fillion will no longer be able to attend the Phoenix Cactus Comicon on January 26 and 27, 2008. Due to a mix-up of dates, Nathan was double-booked for the Phoenix Comicon in Arizona and the FX International Show in Orlando, FL. Nathan offered to keep the gentleman’s agreement he made with PJ Haarsma and Matt Solberg when he discovered the conflicting dates, but PJ refused to put his good friend in the position of breaking his signed contract with the FX Show. Phoenix Comicon agreed with this decision. Everyone involved is deeply disappointed and we apologize for letting the convention attendees down.
PJ Haarsma and Kids Need to Read will still be attending the convention and we hope to meet all of you. We’ll have auctions, give away free buttons and we’ll still have our panel without our star. We may not have an overflow audience, but we’ll have fun all the same. Please stop by to learn more about our organization’s efforts to help foster a love for reading among young children.
