Category Homeschool Event
One of the many benefits of homeschooling is attending daytime extracurricular activities. Homeschoolers have 100s of options to explore the city while many of their peers are at school. While these programs are specifically for home-schooled children, homeschoolers are the ones who will most likely be able to take advantage of these activities.

Event Details
Brown County Game Conference (BroCoCon) is a family-friendly consumer game show hosted by The Toy Chest. It is designed to be fun to attend with the whole family or without kids. We will have games to learn and play (as well as purchase) in strategy, family, party, and preschool categories. There will also be special events, game tournaments, preschool game highlights, outdoor games, and strategy game instruction. General admission tickets allow admission to the general event from 10am-5pm as well as continued access to open-play spaces.
*Children 5 and under are free
Adult Game Night
In the evening we host an 18 adult game night, which boasts game speed dating (play a game until the bell dings, them move to the next table) and a cash bar. The ticket for this event is sold separately and can be attended without attending the daytime event. Adult Game Night Tickets allow admission to the game night hosted from 7-10pm.
Why attend?
Board games bring people together. In our inaugural year,BroCoCon boasted 90 games from 20 vendors and saw over 200 attendees. One person noted, “I’ve never seen such a large group of people with nobody looking at a phone, ” and another attendee call it, “More fun than GenCon.” We fondly remember the kids who showed up disappointed that we didn’t have video games, then at end of the day couldn’t select just one board game to purchase. If you’re craving fun and connection, you won’t be disappointed.
