If filing through stacks of comic books or sorting through bins of action figures sounds like a good Saturday afternoon of fun, Cleveland is where you need to be this weekend. The 5th annual Cleveland Geekster will be Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Cleveland State Community College. Geekster features more than 40 vendors with “huge assortments of things that make nerds smile.” Rob Alderman, along with partners Ryan Faricelli and Ashley Raburn, founded Geekster in 2014. As self-proclaimed geeks and nerds, the three sought a family-friendly atmosphere to explore their love of fandom and collectibles. The show features more than 40 vendors and at least 70 tables of comic books, vintage toys, art, collectibles, memorabilia and activities for the entire family. Admission is $5 for adults, and children 12 and under are free. Nearly 1,000 people attended the 2017 event. Cleveland State Community College is located at 3535 Adkisson Drive.
