    Here are my pics (that turned out). I agree with Greg, the lighting was not fantastic for shooting pics. Next year, I've got a plan to light my models.

    That aside, great event.

    Just a thought here- How was the site for space? One would hope attendance would increase. Was it anywhere near capacity for participants? Parking? If so, and meeting there again is in mind, it could be an idea to seek alternate settings. Just in case.

    It was not very big. In fact during the presentations there were a lot of us that stood for an hour or so as chairs were limited. Parking was okay except the majority of it was far away. I think next year it should be held else where. In fact I've heard the milwest or milwaukee meet is going to be in Cle Elum, maybe tying the modeling show on the same weekend in cle elum would be good. Not sure if there is a large building there for space though.

    Cool pics! That roundy-round picture--what is it? The Bipolar looks toylike, but I think that is what was intended.

    Again, I'll second what Greg said. The models took up a good half the space avaliable. It looked to me like they were not expecting the turnout that they got. I hope that next year, they'll get a larger venue.

    Hemi... that roundy-round was, I believe, a weather vane. It was really really cool.

    I have not been in the Cle Elum depot freight house, since it's renovation. That would be the only possible space of decent size at their site. Otherwise, it needs to be in one of the two towns somewhere.
