Geronimo Stilton Convention 2.0
Geronimo Stilton marked the momentous occasion of its grand 15th anniversary with the Geronimo Stilton Convention 2.0 . Held last May 25, 2019 at Atrium 1, Level 2, The Podium, the half day of fun were filled with activities and everyone who attended had a lot of “mice” time. Here are the top 6 things you missed at the convention.
On-the-Spot Art Contest
I can’t believe that there are so many creative kids who attended the event. Almost all participated in the on-the-spot art contest and drew their favorite Geronimo Stilton had they been the artist who will make the book cover.
Cosplay Contest
Several kids came as their favourite Geronimo Stilton character and even paraded in the runway.
Bouncy “Cheeseball” Pit
The inflatable castle at the event was a hit as most kids gravitate towards the pit. They have a jolly jumping-good-time.
Book Discussion of “My Favorite Geronimo Stilton Adventure”
Part of the program let the kids shared their own unforgettable Geronimo moments with other fans of the series.
Face-Painting, Photo Booth, Parlor Games
What’s a party without the Face-Painting, Photo Booth and of course the parlor games!
Celebrity Appearance of Geronimo and Thea Stilton
Of course, the party isn’t complete without the appearance of Geronimo and Thea Stilton to the delight of the kids. The pair had a special musical number, shaking and grooving with their “cheesy” dance moves.
It was an afternoon of all around wholesome experience with plenty of whisker-licking-good activities which both the parents and the kids enjoyed. What more as a memento, fans also got their book copies stamped by Geronimo and The Stilton themselves!
The Geronimo Stilton Convention 2.0 is co-organized by Scholastic Asia, National Book Store, Powerbooks and The Podium.
