Initial response was slow Saturday morning for Game On Expo at Wilson Park Recreation Center, but picked up in the afternoon, said Miranda Maloy, program coordinator for Temple Parks and Recreation.
This was the departmentâs second year to have the expo, with role playing demonstrations, character building classes, video game tournaments, a costume contest and more. Outdoor activities included a huge cushioned wrecking ball and a renaissance game called âKubb.â
âWeâre happy with as many people as have come and weâre having fun,â she said.
Heather Tobias of Killeen sat in the corner of the game room, wearing a blue wig and the mask of Sal Fisher from the video game âSallyface.â She carried a ghost catcher made by her daughter, Audrey.
