Vendors and cosplayers showcase art at South Bend Anime Fest

SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- South Bend Anime Fest was held Sunday at the Hilton Garden Inn filled with vendors, cosplayers, and voice actors. 

Vendors sold their own art, plushies, key chains, clothing, jewelry, and even props.

A cosplay competition was held at 4 p.m. where guests could show off their costumes for prizes. 

David Hess, Show Manager, stated, "A favorite time of the day for me is when all the people start coming in. We get it here pretty early, and we get the day rolling and get all the vendors in. And once the day starts, that's one of the best you get to see the costumes, the people coming in, people that you've seen in the past, and past shows. It's a nice time."
