People come from all over to meet the stars, chat about the show and revel in the spirit of a much beloved Longmire series. The days for the 2015 event were confirmed by K2 Radio on Jan. 21, but will the festival be expanding to accommodate popular demand? Will everyone manage to get in?

"I feel bad for the people from Wyoming who were turned away," noted volunteer Karen Duncan, who had come out from Colorado to lend a hand. Others from Florida, Virginia, California, Colorado, Mississippi, Montana, and New York were also turned away.
Demand for the series has only increased over the last six months. A&E canceled the popular crime drama after its third season finale, sparking an epic online campaign featuring petitions to revive the program on a new network. Longmire lingered in limbo for months while producers looked to find the show a new home. In November, Netflix picked the series and since then the writers have already reconvened to design the new season.
Production is set to begin in March.
Longmire will likely return for a fourth season on Netflix during the later half of 2015.
