On Sept. 3, 4, and 5, SacAnime convention was held in Sacramento, California at the Sacramento Convention Center. 

SacAnime is a semi-annual anime convention for fans to come together and share their love for anime shows, cartoons, and video games alike.

According to SacAnime, they view the convention as a place where “fans come to play.”

At this year’s convention, some of Oakmont’s very own Vikings definitely went to play, representing their favorite anime.
