Organizers of the Ozarks Gaming Convention (OzCon) raised $3,700 for the Child Advocacy Center in West Plains. This is the ninth year for the event, which was held April 22-24 at the West Plains Civic Center. Each year proceeds from the gaming, cosplay and anime convention benefits a local non-profit organization or agency. The Child Advocacy Center serves the needs of abused and neglected children in southwest and south-central Missouri. On hand for the check presentation were, from left, OzCon organizer CJ Collins, Rebel Lillo of the Child Advocacy Center, OzCon organizer Jim Listopad, Celeste Williams of the Child Advocacy Center, and OzCon organizers Breanna Lane, Ben Bird, Dalyn Bird, Biff Bird and Mike Scheidt.
