Midwestcon 9 was a relaxacon held June 28–29, 1958, at the North Plaza Motel, Cincinnati, OH.

At this con, the First Fandom club was founded. Detroit in '59 and Chicago: 1959 both held bid parties; Detroit served booze; Chicago offered popcorn. (The Michifen should’ve remembered this for Detroit in '82!) The pool was popular.
