Trek Fest Beams Down To Riverside

Trek Fest Beams Down To Riverside


Future Riverside resident James T. Kirk, who only works in outer space, with his pal from Vulcan and last year's contest champ Lt. Uhura. When the Trek backstory noted that Captain Kirk was born in Iowa, Riverside claimed the right as his "future birthplace," and Trek Fest was born.


Lt. Expendable decided he'd better get out of Star Fleet before he had to beam down with Kirk, Spock and McCoy and utter that immortal line "Captain -- AAAAAUGH!" So now he's in business selling Star Trek goodies.


The crew of the USS Riverside (the organization that runs has Trek Fest since 1985) unveiled their new shuttlecraft this year. The pilot looks a bit young.


A young James Kirk in the costume contest, with what appears to be the winner of Best Big Pussy lookalike in the Sopranos costume contest.


This fellow obviously landed on the wrong planet.
