This year marks the 25-year anniversary of the premiere of Smallville and Creation Entertainment is celebrating with the Salute to Smallville convention November 7-8 in Nashville, Tennessee. While the guest list is already very packed with such folks as Tom Welling, Michael Rosenbaum, Erica Durance, Laura Vandervoort, John Glover and many more, there was a certain name not announced yet who was a vital part of Smallville’s beginnings. (Hey, who remembers Smallville: Beginnings?)
That name would, of course, be Kristin Kreuk, who played Lana Lang for seven seasons of Smallville with a five-episode arc to wrap up her character in Season 8. This means the original cast trio of her, Tom, and Michael will be reunited only a few weeks after the series turns 25.
Gold Admission Passes – which will include exclusive entry to a big panel on the Sunday morning of the convention – are still available but they’re going fast. If you want to see that panel, though, that’s the way to do it; additional tiers of admission passes will be offered at a future date. Creation has also added several photo opportunities including Kristin in case you’d like to take a photo with her. The event will include panels and Q&A’s, cosplay, trivia, autographs, and the best part – the opportunity to spend time with hundreds of other people who love Smallville just as much as you do. For some fans, it’s become an annual tradition.
The hope is for the anniversary convention to be huge. It’ll be the third year, and that means every year gets better, and better, right?
