Actor Ben Savage Makes History in Evansville: First Fan Convention Appearance in Six Years

Boy Meets World fan clubs and online social media chats around the world are still buzzing about actor Ben Savage's appearance at Evansville Raptor Con.

Where in the World has Ben Savage Been?

If you are a super fan of Boy Meets World and Girl Meets World, you probably know that Ben Savage left the fan convention circuit years ago. He was pursuing a career in politics and stepped away from the Hollywood life. Fans have expressed their frustrations about this for years. Die-hard fans just want to complete their autograph collections and get photos with the main cast.

Ben Savage Attends First Fan Convention Appearance in Six Years

When I found out that Ben Savage was booked for Evansville Raptor Con, I knew it was a pretty big deal, but I had no idea that so many nineties kids would travel to Southern Indiana to meet him. If you are of a certain age (Like me) you think 1994 was like ten years ago...Spoiler Alert: That was 30 years ago.

But let me tell you that Ben Savage loves his fans. I saw him take his time signing hundreds of autographs and chatting with folks who have been waiting years to meet him. And I have to give a shout-out to his sweet and beautiful wife, Tessa. She helped out at Ben's booth and was genuinely excited to be a part of the event.

Ben Savage is No Stranger to Southern Indiana

Yes, Ben does have family in Indiana, and when he visits, he does not shy away from fans or from our local restaurants! But, Evansville Raptor Con was a completely different experience. Fans traveled literally from around the world for the rare opportunity to get a professional photo, get his autograph, and actually talk with one of their favorite celebrities.
