IPMS Reno's 17th annual Invitational Contest & Swap Meet. 

Our contest is held 100 yards from the ramp at Reno Stead airport, home of the fastest motor sport in the world - The Reno National Championship Air Races. Additionally, the Great Reno Hot Air Balloon Races are also under way this same weekend. This all takes place starting the same weekend as our contest. Plus gaming, shopping, great food and super hotels. What more could a modeler (or modeler's wife) ask for?

We hope you take this opportunity to attend this years event as we have had many very positive comments on our venue and the feel we offer so many diverse and interesting things to do that this is easily a family outing and not just a modelers weekend.

If you have any questions regarding our show or any of the other events in the Reno area, or you would like a suggestion for a hotel or restaurant, please email our chapter contacts.
