Concoction

Concoction was the process of digestion, as conceived by Aristotle who theorized that this was the result of the heat of the body acting upon the material, causing it to mature and ripen. Liquid broths, cocktails and potions which are similarly formed by heating or blending multiple ingredients are now referred to in this way.

ConCoction (convention)

ConCoction is a full-spectrum multi-genre fantasy and science fiction convention based in Cleveland, Ohio, and is annually in March. It is a not-for-profit endeavor run by the local and regional community of fans to promote Community Service, Education, and the Arts in Northeastern, Ohio.

ConCoction as a convention offers several tracks of programming in the arts, costuming, music/filk, literary, media, and the sciences. The convention also includes such events as an art show, a masquerade, an exhibit hall, a gaming hall, and at least one dance. ConCoction also has a children's track of programming that has included open gaming, make and take crafts and the attack of Godzilla as well as costuming, and science programs.

In 2016 this group will be celebrating the theme of "Space", where they will be commemorating the 50th anniversary of TriCon, the 24th World Science Fiction Convention held in Cleveland, Ohio on 1–5 September 1966 at the Sheraton-Cleveland and the pilot premier of Star Trek.
