Summer is wrapping up and we are past Comic-Con and Star Trek Las Vegas, but that doesn’t mean it’s over for conventions and events of interest to Star Trek fans.  If you weren’t able to make it to Creation’s Vegas con, don’t fret: they may be coming to a town near you with their Continuing Voyage Tour. Another big highlight is Dragon Con kicking off this weekend with their famed Trek Trek. Plus Discovery stars are headed to FanExpo Canada this weekend. There are also two Star Trek-themed baseball events, a bunch of Star Trek concerts, and more, all in September.
