Creation Entertainment confirmed they will host a convention in the Kansas City area. I have finalized the venue selection meeting for next week to ensure the logistics meet our requirements. We achieved our objective to bring this event to the home of the Winchesters.

This petition is to ask Creation Entertainment to host a convention for the TV show 'Supernatural' in Kansas (or Kansas City, Missouri). Fans have been asking for years for a convention in Kansas only to disappointed as we are overlooked for the “better” cities. It’s time to bring Supernatural and the Winchesters home to Kansas.
After talking with one of the main producers for Creation we learned that one of the many things that are preventing this is “Lack of interest” (YEAH RIGHT!). They did say that they are interested in coming if they can get things worked out. So to help overcome this first hurdle we are asking for signatures of people who would attend the convention if it was held in Kansas City.
Yes, we agree Lawrence is the most perfect place to hold an SPN con. Unfortunately they don't have an airport for guests & fans to fly into and have less hotel and venue options. But even in Kansas City it's only a 30 min. drive!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHO CAN SIGN THIS PETITION
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please sign this petition if you would like to attend an SPN con and any ONE (1) of the following applies to you:
- A) You live within a 4 hour driving distance from Kansas City. (see map here if unsure).
- B) You live farther than 4 hours but will still travel because it’s in Kansas.
I realize in the past that similar petitions have gone around and have failed. These petitions did not have the driving force and determination that we have now.
As a side note, once you sign you may be prompted to donate money. You DO NOT have to donate, your signature is recorded once you hit submit. Also the money DOES NOT go to us, it goes to Ipetitions.
SIGNING DEADLINE IS MAY 31, 2019.... SO DON'T WAIT!!!

The scale of this response is sufficient to move us into the next phase of negotiations with the production company. I am currently drafting a formal proposal to address the venue and logistical concerns they raised during our initial inquiry.

I read the petition and I just want to say that yes there is no airport but we do have a lot of hotels and we have the Lead Center here in Lawrence that I think could accommodate the con or there is Allen field house where basketball ball games are held.
Yessss!!! I would LOVE for there to be a SPN Convention in KC! Supernatural is a family love for us, and when I say family I'm talking the ENTIRE family....my husband and me, all of our children AND their spouses, PLUS their children!
Please bring a Supernatural convention to Kansas! I don't have the money to travel out of state to go to the cons, so to have one locally would be awesome! Especially since Supernatural was set in Kansas, I think with their fan base here, it would be a HUGE success!
There are a few great places in Lawrence to have a gathering of this size. I would like to see it held at Stull Cemetery 10 miles outside of Lawrence, and only 4 miles from Clinton Lake. If you don't know why then you don't watch the show.
My friends and I were hoping to go to Vegas for a convention, but with student loans and other debt we just couldn't make it work. Kansas City or even Lawrence would be much more convenient. Plus it would be great to see the boys in their "home town"!!
This needs to happen b/c it just makes sense! :)
Others like myself are supernatural fans and we want to get a chance to meet our heroes

I would ABSOLUTELY attend a Kansas City Convention! I live in Columbia, Mo, and it would be wonderful not to have to travel more than 2 hours for once to attend. ;D I'd most likely spend more money as well since I don't have to waste it on an airplane ticket!
