The DemiCon 27 Cardio Loop

You say you want a way to start exercising? Or perhaps you are missing your regular workout because you are at the Con? We have the solution for you — the DemiCon Cardio Loop!

The Cardio Loop is operational the entire weekend (until Sunday at noon), and is an “at your own pace” activity. Simply go to the Hub to sign up, find the stairwell, and start climbing those stairs! Climb to the 5th floor, walk down the hallway, and descend on the other side. Return to your starting point and you have made one loop!

Make as may loops at you want, and when you’re finished, return to the Hub to pick up your “I survived the DemiCon Cardio Loop” button. There is a place on the button to record the number of loops you completed.

Remember, each journey starts with a single step, and you can start that journey and keep it going here!

 

Let’s Color

There will be coloring books and crayons for children and adults to check out from the Hub. Let the stress flow away with every page you color.

 

One of My Favorite DemiCon Costumes

There are some amazing costumes at DemiCon and sometimes you want to show your appreciation.  This year take a couple of the cards provided at the Hub and hand them out to those whose costumes you love.  Maybe write a “LOVE IT” note on the back of the card.

The recipients can take these cards and put them on a safety pin or lanyard hooks to wear them around. The more each person gets, the cooler it looks and fans out.

These cards are located in the Hub at the bottoms of the curvy stairs.

 

Origami Paper Crane Folding

Help us create a vignette for an upcoming DemiCon by folding paper cranes.

We are working on a 1000 Crane Pagoda and you are welcome to help us. There will be directions as well as a video online on Facebook, DemiCon website and our YouTube channel on “How to Fold a Paper Crane”.

Orgami paper will be made available.

When you are done folding your cranes just bring them back and place in the box that will be located in the Hub.
