If you’ve been with us since the beginning, you know we quickly outgrew The Cooper Community Arts Building. With its closure, we had to pivot fast. Last year’s stop at Somerset High School was a fun detour, but THIS is the venue we’ve had our eye on since the start.
For Cumberland Con 2025 , we’re finally here, The Center for Rural Development a space that brings everyone together under one roof. We can’t wait to grow and expand in this new location.
We’re proud to have reached this milestone and hope this is Cumberland Con’s home for years to come.
