"Voyage to Vulcan" run in conjunction with a contest sponsored by Channel 7 & the Calgary Herald. The sponsors planned and funded the event including decor, entertainment, supper and transportation to Vulcan from Lethbridge & Calgary.VAST birthday party for Leonard Nimoy’s 60th (Spock). VAST has a display at STAR-COMM in Calgary (March 22-24).
There is some debate whether the convention’s official "first year" was 1992 or 1993. Official Trek Station records indicate 1993 was the first official convention, but multiple attendees have reported 1992 to be the first.
