Dragon Con is celebrating its 40th anniversary, marking a major milestone for the world's largest pop culture convention. The event has drawn 75,000 participants, who have been advised to be prepared. Organizers have taken note of the weather, with one saying that Mother Nature is not being cooperative this year.

A puppet named Jester, accompanied by its master Jennifer Shell, was among those seeking refuge from the heat in the grand lobby of the Hyatt. The event is expected to be one of the hottest of the year, coinciding with extremely high temperatures.

Further details about the convention, including photos of past events, are available from the source.
