Attention residents of the greater Salt Lake City and greater Ogden areas (and those who work there and/or are otherwise able to support us there)...

This year, Mountain-Con is running TNT Fireworks stands at two locations to support the cause of fandom. Those locations are:

• Salt Lake City area:
  • 6525 S. State Street in Murray, UT
  • Sam's Club parking lot
• Ogden area:
  • 3042 Washington Boulevard in Ogden, UT
  • Carlo's Produce parking lot

Both stands will be open from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. from Saturday June 28th through Saturday July 5th, 2008. Depending on availability, the stands may open on the 23rd & 24th as well (for Pioneer Day).

If you plan to purchase fireworks for your family Independence Day celebration, please visit one of our locations. (Rumor has it that the "Trojan Rabbit" from Monty Python and the Holy Grail will be at the Salt Lake location on the 28th.)

Reason #8 to attend Mountain-Con:
Sarah Douglas

Although we may recognize her best as "Ursa", General Zod's right-hand woman in the first two Superman movies (starring Christopher Reeve), Ms. Douglas is an accomplished actress who has been in several of our favorite shows...

Some of Ms. Douglas's other science fiction, fantasy, and horror roles include:

• "Pamela" in V: The Final Battle (television series)
  
• "Queen Taramis" in Conan the Destroyer
  
• "Dr. Lana Zurell" in Return of the Swamp Thing
  
• "Lyranna Tagget" in Beastmaster 2
  
• "Elsa Toulon" in Puppet Master III
  
• "Lt. Col. Sinclair" in Return of the Living Dead III
  
• "B" in a Space 1999 episode
  
• "Lady Whitehurst" in an episode of The Wizard
  
• "Deathwalker/Jha'Dur" in an episode of Babylon 5
  
• "Yosuuf/Garshaw of Belote" in an episode of Stargate SG-1

Ms. Douglas also starred as "Pamela Lynch" on Falcon Crest, which ran for two years ('83 - '85) and has had several other guest starring roles on Magnum P.I., The Love Boat, The Return of The Saint, Matlock, Remington Steele, and many others.

Ms. Douglas has offered a very rare event she calls "An Evening with Sarah Douglas", which is an intimate gathering of people that lasts for about 90 minutes. It is a private event, and has never been held outside of England ... until now. "An Evening with Sarah Douglas" is a special event at Mountain-Con, and thus has an additional fee.
