Michicon 4 was held June 17-19, 1944, at the Slan Shack in Battle Creek, MI.
There were 23 people present, including Bob Tucker, Ken Krueger, Al Ashley, Lynn Bridges, Len Marlow, Joe Hensley, Frank Robinson, Elsie Janda, Mari Beth Wheeler, Jonne Evans Bates, Al Glassen, Ollie Saari, Ty Tyrone, Joe Machay, Ed Counts, Earl Perry, Helen Perry, Jack Wiedenbeck, Walt Liebscher, Thelma Morgan, E. E. Evans, Abby Lu Ashley and Milton Ashley.
Events included swimming, an auction held by candlelight when a thunderstorm made them lose power, and some private huckstering. Frank Robinson published two issues of FANEWS[CARD] during the convention.
By modern standards, this would be a relaxacon.
A page from IPIH/AIN reporting on the convention:
| 1943 Michiconference | Michiconference | 1945 Michiconference |
| 1944 |
| This is a convention page. Please extend it by adding information about the convention, including dates, GoHs, convention chairman, locale, sponsoring organization, external links to convention pages, awards given, the program, notable events, anecdotes, pictures, scans of publications, pictures of T-shirts, con reports, etc. |
