This past weekend was Who North America\u2019s annual Fall Festival, Doctoberfest. Held on the grounds at Who NA since 2015, it\u2019s grown from just a few games and activities, as well as a good excuse to shop for some Who merch. Starting last year, they added a second location at a nearby hotel with a free shuttle to & from, plus, a few guests via Zoom. For this year\u2019s Doctoberfest, they brought in the wonderful Sophie Aldred as their very first celebrity, as well as a collection of fun panels, vendor\u2019s room, and a costume contest. It was an incredible time. Special thanks to the Who NA staff and the wonderful volunteers who helped put on such a fantastic day, as well as the friendly staff at the Courtyard by Marriott, Plainfield, IN. Enjoy some photos below from the event as well as the store itself. If you\u2019re not far from Camby, IN, and Who NA, give them a visit. They have a merchandise museum that\u2019ll have you alternating between nostalgia and envy. They\u2019ve also got the old Doctor Who pinball machine, a talking Dalek that greets you at the store, not to mention the incredible merchandise museum as well as a mind boggling amount of books, DVDs, t-shirts, stickers, action figures, magnets, magazines, Big Finish audios. You name it, they probably have it. Visit them online at www.whona.com. ","author_name":"Doctor Who: Harry Sullivan Is An Imbecile","author_url":"http:\/\/imbecilepod.libsyn.com\/website","html":"
