To boldly go where no Star fleet Commander has gone before!

In his travels as Captain James T Kirk, William Shatner was transported to some unusual locales, Romulan War Ships, distant stars and through black holes in space, and come May the Captain, or Mr. Shatner as he will appear on the show bill, will be delivered to Prince George.

(No one make the black hole in space joke here please)

The legendary Canadian actor who while having a varied resume of artistic achievement, probably understands that he will forever be known as Kirk and when he makes the trip to Prince George in May for that city's Northern Fancon, we imagine that the bulk of the conversation will be focused on Star Trek and not TJ Hooker.

Mr. Shatner will be the main attraction for the 2015 edition of the Fan Festival set to run in the Central Interior city from May 8 to 10.

You can learn more about the event from their Facebook page, which for the moment features Mr. Shatner as part of the masthead.

Needless to say, those in Prince George, Star Trek fans or not, are already getting geared up for the May festival, some of their thoughts on the visit can be found below.
