For more information on our conventions, check out our Convention FAQ at the bottom of this page. Conventions are open to anyone-you don't have to be a member of our group to attend. The convention is a great time for series book collectors to meet, trade books and stories, and hunt for missing books from their collection. This adds that nostalgic flair to our conventions so they're much more special than a generic location! While we may not chase villains down dark alleys or sleuth for secret passageways (yet!), we do manage to mix real-life locations with book hunting and activities based on the mystery in the theme book(s) for a fabulous event of mystery and "mayhem." We select a theme book-one of the classic 56 hardcover Nancy Drew books printed from 1930 to 1979-that is set in a real location and we do things that Nancy Drew and her chums did in the books. Our mission is to walk in Nancy Drew's footsteps each year at our conventions. The Mystery Behind Following in Nancy Drew's Footsteps. Interested in Attending?
