Club Sponsors

We recognize the enormous importance of our sponsors who collectively make it possible for us to hold our annual contest. However, their support is much more important than that. Sponsors are often also exhibitors and on-site vendors for each show, providing show-visitors with access to hobby resources they may not otherwise get. And some sponsors are local businesses making all or part of their living supporting our hobby. 

Obviously our sponsors are critical resources for local modelers and we want to highlight their contributions to the hobby, and help them to thrive by introducing them to members and visitors who may not be aware of them. If you’re a business person, or just want to support the hobby, please become a sponsor!

Sponsorships fund the master craftsman and theme awards, as well as general contest categories.

– General category sponsorships are $50
– Master craftsman and theme awards are $100

Sponsor names are prominently displayed at the show and are featured prominently on our website throughout the following year. 

Please contact us to become a sponsor, and tell your friends too!!
