Olon F. Wiggins

The first signs of Denver fandom appeared in 1932, when letters from Olon Wiggins started appearing in letter columns of some of the prozines. In 1940, Wiggins and Lew Martin caused much amazement when they hopped a freight train from Denver to Chicago to get to the 1940 Worldcon. They succeeded in winning the right to host the 1941 Worldcon, which became the first Denvention.

After the Chicon, Wiggins and several other fans formed the Colorado Fantasy Society. He edited The Science Fiction Fan.
