• A workshop on illustrative neon with Dani Kaes and Jacob Wilcox, two talented neon artists who taught the attendees how to create their glowing artworks using glass tubes and gas.
• A cosplay contest with prizes for the best costumes inspired by comics, movies, or video games.
• A raffle with a chance to win comic books, merchandise, and gift cards from local businesses.

The Lunar New Year Comics Fest was a fun and festive event that attracted comic fans of all ages and backgrounds.
