2017 FOCO COMIC CON Success!
Hero-making success! Nick and the Nicksters enjoyed two days of science fiction fun and fantasy at the 2017 Fort Collins Comic Con (FC3). The event raises money for the Poudre libraries through geek inclusivity and fun! FC3 raised $30,000 for the Poudre Libraries this year alone. Here are some highlights:
From set up to show, we enjoyed such an awesome community event.
Nick and Liz found a great geek winter hat.
Inspired and technically perfect costumes abounded!
Nick’s speech on the Inner Hero caused inner ponderings as the inner heros developed. Nick’s inner monologue says he is a super-genius. 
The T.A.R.D.I.S. even landed at the Aztlan Center!
The table became a crafting zone for hero masks!
And of course the two Nicks. What an awesome job this year, Nick A! Stay tuned for more costume fun in our next post about the Comic Con.

Project One Provides More Than Just Home Repair
Saturday, May 6th, was an eventful day at the office of Awesome in Action! Not only was Project One, a community service offering free home repair through Crossroads Church, fixing up screens and steps, but also, a whole team of kids was helping to review and reflect on Nick’s newest book!
Awesome in Action could not have asked for a more thorough and friendly group of children, aged 9 mos to 14 yrs.
Jolee, 14 yrs, holds youngest critic, Kellan, 9 mos as they read through Nick’s 2nd book!
The kids all read through the book, answered questions about the story line, and voted on a title choice for the new adventure.
Ellory, 11, came up with a fabulous impression of an ostrich that all the kids had to try!
Parker, 7 yrs, laughed at a funny Ostrich story that Nick’s mom told!
Kira, 12, balanced her contributions to the house with a book review!
Lexi, 8, sat with Nick and read Helping in Action!
Jase, 9, was happy to be helping with Project One, and Nick’s new book!
After reading, the kids sat with Nick’s mom, Susan, and heard stories about real African animals!
Oh no, Parker, Ostrich Fail!
