Last week we brought you 10 of the world's strangest conventions from Oddee.com. Well, here are 10 more.
1. Fur-Con
A furry convention (also furry-con or fur-con) is a formal gathering of members of furry fandom — people who are interested in the concept of fictional non-human characters with human characteristics.

5. Sideshow Convention
Every year in Wilkes-Barre, PA the world's only sideshow convention is held.
6. Parkes Elvis Festival

7. Official Twilight Conventions
The Twilight movies and the books they are based upon, written by Stephenie Meyer, are a huge cultural phenomenon worthy of not just one, but several official conventions. Thousands of fans gather for the conventions, and stars of the movies, as well as Meyer herself.

9. Lebowski Fest
Lebowski Fest is a gathering of fans of the cult film/pop culture phenomenon, The Big Lebowski. The festival has been held for ten years in as many cities, and The Dude himself (actor Jeff Bridges) attended the Los Angeles Lebowski Fest in 2005.
10. 'The Office' Convention
Scranton, PA is the city in which the Emmy Award-winning TV show The Office is based, which is why it became the unlikely location of a yearly convention.
