Stones River Mall and Hot Topic invite fans of all ages to Anime & Cosplay Party: Round Two, held from Noon-3 p.m. on Saturday, June 18, in Center Court.

"We are thrilled to offer such an exciting event to our shoppers again this year!" said Melinda Noblitt, Marketing & Events Manager for Stones River Mall. "Anime and cosplay fans can enjoy a variety of activities, including a cosplay contest, gaming room, and panel discussions - none of which would be possible without several of our key retailers."

Shoppers are encouraged to wear their favorite Cosplay costumes, which will be judged during a Cosplay Contest at the end of the event. Pre-registration will take place from 1-2 p.m., and prizes will be awarded in both children and adult categories.

Test your Mario Bros. gaming skills during Super Smash Bros. tournaments or enjoy free, open play with friends in the Gaming Room, presented by GameStop and Electronic Express.

Attendees can also enjoy Panel Discussions during this second annual event. Topics include Cosplay Etiquette, Costuming and Special Effects Makeup, and Kids Crafting. Plus, enter to win a $100 Hot Topic gift card and a badge to AkaiCon, among other giveaways.

Stones River Mall provides a variety of events to shoppers and their families throughout the year. Events are free, and no registration is required. Stones River Mall requires that all children be supervised by an adult during these events.
