The event, organized by Fluid Productions, LLC in partnership with the Radisson Hotel at Star Plaza in Merrillville is expected to attract over ten thousand enthusiastic Michael Jackson fans from around the world to celebrate Jacksons\u2019 legacies of humanity, love for the environment and music.<\/p>\n<p>Donald Thompson, event director, said \u201cThis is the only event of its kind in the world because it is the only event that will be held so close to his boyhood home. We felt that Indiana was the perfect place to host an event that will highlight Michael\u2019s life and music. It just makes sense. It all began here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Fanvention, which is a combination of the words \u201cfan\u201d and \u201cconvention\u201d, will include autograph and photo sessions with people that worked with and knew Michael. Members of the Jackson family will be in attendance and will participate in question and answer sessions about Michael. A dance party and gala are also scheduled. Tours will also run to the Jackson family home throughout the weekend. Vendors will be on hand to sell memorabilia and collector\u2019s items. A special salute to Jackson will be performed by young entertainers from the northwest Indiana area on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.insideindianabusiness.com\/newsitem.asp?ID=40351\">Fluid Productions LLC<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Katherine Jackson, the mother of the late entertainer Michael Jackson will be in attendance at a press conference to announce the first annual International King of Pop Fanvention on March 9, 2010 at 10 a.m.(CST).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2667","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-michael-jackson-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
