Midwest Fandom generally refers to fans living in the U.S. states comprising the historical Northwest Territory — Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio and Wisconsin — plus Southern Ontario, Canada, and, more specifically, to the circle of those fans who attend Midwestcon.
Midwestern fen are known as hard partiers. That Bob Tucker hailed from the Midwest no doubt contributed. This is the region that originated All-Night Fandom, that birthed the Slan Shack and the propeller beanie, and is home to the original relaxacon.
It was also infamously referred to as the Wimpy Zone by an East Coast smof.
