The Arizona Ghostbusters will be making our 5th appearance at the local Phoenix Comicon this Memorial Day Weekend. Our booth will have a Ghostbusters 2 theme this year. We'll have handouts including AZGB Buttons, Temporary Tattoos, and Slime Hand Sanitizer. We'll also be adding our new Ecto Containment Unit Replica to the booth alongside our RGB Arcade Machine, Vigo Replica, Ecto-AZ, and Statue of Liberty Balloon. Besides the regular events every year including the Zombie Walk, Zombie Beauty Pageant, charity and prop panels, the team is also hosting a children's Ecto-Zone play area, where after completing several games, the kids will recieve a Junior Ghostbuster certificate and other prizes. Hourly raffles will be held at our booth to benefit the American Diabetes Association.

Arizona Ghostbusters
The Arizona Ghostbusters represent a costuming fan club bound together by their mutual love for the Ghostbusters franchise in all its forms, and the personal pride and accomplishment that comes with volunteering. Their Ghostbusters costumes allow them to draw extra attention to many well deserving charities. The smiles and joy that their costumes generate help them give to the community and put great meaning into their group. Since forming five years ago, the Arizona Ghostbusters have worked closely with the Multiple Sclerosis Society, American Diabetes Association, and the Children's Cancer Network for a Christmas Toy Drive and subsequent toy deliveries at Phoenix Children's Hospital and Cardon's Children's Medical Center.
