Buffy star Charisma Carpenter appears at GenreCon

Event at Round Table Tavern kicks off Guelph convention

Last Friday, Charisma Carpenter, best known for playing Cordelia Chase in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer television series, appeared at The Round Table on Essex Street as part of GenreCon 2018. Just over 20 people attended the event and had the opportunity to meet Carpenter and have a small group talk with her.

Nicholas Brendon, the actor who portrayed Xander Harris on the show, was also scheduled to attend, but was not able to make it.

At the event, guests were handed limited edition character cards for the Buffy the Vampire Slayer board game. The cards were of Xander and Cordelia respectively and both were signed by Carpenter and Brendon. Later on, attendees lined up to get selfies with Carpenter before the event was over.
