Superheroes in St. John's: Sci-Fi on the Rock draws big fans
Super heroes were spotted in St. John's over the weekend — and no, it wasn't for Halloween.
The ninth annual Sci-Fi on the Rock convention is underway at the Holiday Inn and some amazing cosplay outfits were on display.
From Lego Abe Lincoln to baby Flash, people of all ages let their freak flags fly.
Reporter Krissy Holmes caught up with this fan of Avatar: The Last Airbender.
