And last but not least…

Fan Guest of Honor Jean Batt

As a third generation fan, they grew up encouraged in the arts. They have worked for years in the film, drag, burlesque, dj and art worlds, but have always blended with their fannish nature. In the past few years, they have won awards putting their work on the national and international lime light. They have used that lime light and talent to help those around themself; anything from a friend who was fighting cancer who had lost his medical insurance to trans kids.
