(Did you mean a con chaired by Roger Sims?)


The Michiconference (also called Michicon) was a series of early conventions held in Southern Michigan during the war from 1941 to 1945. They were basically relaxacons, but were among the very few cons during the war. They were sponsored by the Mid-West Fantasy Fan Federation.
