The cat may be out of the bag about Lena Hall's attendance thanks to a pre-mature press release, but Ponycon is here to give a more finalized, revised release and official convention art to welcome the Tony Award winning actress to the convention! Also details on autograph sessions with the singing pony.
Not only that they have some sad news to deliver about Cathy Weseluck, unable to attend this February's event due to unforeseen commitments. We hope to see you next year Cathy!
Check on after the break for the full presser.
