Pulpcon, now PulpFest, was a convention founded by three St.Louis pulp magazine fans — Ed Kessell, Earl Kussman, and Nils Hardin — and held over a June weekend in 1972 at the Colony Motor Hotel in Clayton, Missouri.
It was intended at a one-shot convention, gradually Rusty Hevelin became the organizer, and it has effectively continued to this day.
In 2008, the Pulpcon committee split, with one group planning to hold Pulpcon 38 in Dayton, Ohio, and the other group planning to hold Pulpcon 2009 in Columbus, Ohio. The schism was eventually settled with Pulpcon 38 being cancelled, and Pulpcon 2009 being renamed PulpFest.
PulpFest's founding management was Jack Cullers, Barry Traylor, Mike Chomko and Ed Hulse. The current PulpFest Committee is Jack Cullers, Barry Traylor, Mike Chomko, William Lampkin, and William Patrick Maynard.
Awards given out by the convention include the Lamont Award (later the Munsey Award) and the Rusty Hevelin Service Award (better known as the Rusty Award.)
