Once again Creation Entertainment is bringing Star Trek to Nashville’s Opryland Resorts this weekend (Saturday & Sunday June 9-10, 2012) with some real big names in the ST universe . John Tenuto , John de Lancie (“Q”) , Screenwriter Morgan Gendel, LeVar Burton (Geordi LaForge), Chase Masterson (Leeta of ST:DS9), Jonathan Frakes (Commander Riker), Marina Sirtis (Counselor Troi), George Takei (Sulu of classic Star Trek) , Nichelle Nichols (Uhura of classic Star Trek), and Avery Brooks (Sisko) will be attending this years event .
Last year was a blast and I am hoping to make it this year again. There was so much to do and all the merchants and people involved were fantastic. Plus The Opryland resort is always a treat to visit. Huge is not the word. Anyway I copied the activity list from the schedule listed on Creations site tickets are reasonable especially the general admission .

You can get your tickets here at Creations Web page for the Nashville event

2011 Star Trek Convention video I took last year. I was only there for a short time and I missed seeing William Shatner but still had a fantastic time.
