NordicCon 2011

theme

It was a beautiful fall day for Nordicon 2011 and we filled the Fridley Knights hall with over 300 stunning models. Plenty of vendor tables were sold, (thanks Sean!), so there was ample opportunity to empty your wallets. John Ross, and family did a great job on the raffle, both the general one and the silent one. Thanks to all who donated to this, it really is a fun part of any show. Bernie took the judging reins and mad sure we were all on task and on time! Larry, Dave, Merrill, and crew did a great job at the registration table. I hope the online option for entering was a success. It sure is a lot easier!

Sadly, we bid a final farewell to the Knights hall, and Vicki's great lunches, and move the show back to Productivity Inc. for the 2012 show. This is the site of the 2010 event and it's a great facility. Dave Nelson will be your fearless leader next year.

For me personally, it's my favorite show of the year. To see so much modeling diversity in one room is awesome. It's also great to see modelers of different genres enjoying each others work. We, the Twin Cities modeling community, deserve a show like this. It's a place to share your talents, but most importantly, it's a place to gather together as friends and colleagues. See ya next year!
