Picture 1: Committee member, MaryBrigid, holding a crocheted Octo the Octopus. Octo has their own Octocon name badge stating Octo "A01 Prime" with a green lanyard and an "Honored Guest" ribbon. Picture two is a close up of Octo wearing the same name badge.
This is what happens when MaryBrigid and Chebe are left unattended with Octo and a label printer! 😂😊
