A semi-relaxacon founded in 1971, usually held over Thanksgiving weekend in Central Illinois. (It's actually fairly heavily programmed and organized to be called a relaxacon, say, compared to Midwestcon.) At Chambanacon 51 in 2022, they announced that Chair Brenda Sutton and Con Suite Manager Phread Langford would be retiring after Chambanacon 52 and if replacements weren’t found, that would be the final con of the series.
