31st Annual Superman Celebration 2009 in Metropolis, Illinois

I had never been to one of these, so it goes without saying that my jaw dropped. Highlights of the video are (in order of appearance): the 2009 festival's official Superman walking out from the Chamber of Commerce with a tote bag; Wonder Woman as a plumped mommy; creepy Klingon woman telling...a...story...about...[zzZzzZz]; costume contest featuring cross-dressing Supergirl; Mayor swearing in citizens to Metropolis, Illinois who will "uphold truth, justice and the American way"; and a group goodbye.
I've heard about Trek Conventions but this has to be weirder.

More proof that Illinois, as the home of Superman, is the best state.

What the heck was Spider-Man doing there? He's Marvel; not DC.

I'm sorry, but there are clearly so people who should absolutely not put on a superman or wonder woman costume 😬
