Our Contest is held at the National Automobile Museum, just blocks away from gaming, shopping, great food and super hotels. What more could a Modeler (or Modelers Wife) ask for.
We hope you will take the opportunity to attend this Years event as we have had many very positive comments on our new contest venue. Reno offers so many things to do that this is easily a family outing and not just a Modelers weekend.
