2008 winners

[Zoom Zoom]

We had a fantastic show, lots of fun, lots of friends. Model tally was officially 495, but there were actually well over 500 on the tables. The Mopar theme was jam-packed, Mercedes and Motorcycles did well but not packed...though more motorcycles displayed than ever seen at a show. The tables were nearly full well before 10:30AM. We had about 30 people buy Early Bird passes to get in early and get models set up before the crowd and/or get some great deals on stuff from the vendors.

Vendors seemed to do well; Strada Sports says that sales were up slightly from last year. People cleaning out their model closets did pretty well when the priced to sell. Overall we had a lot of fun, and are already taking notes on things we want to improve for 2009. Our 2009 flyers went like hotcakes, and people seem pretty happy with the themes of Retro in the Metro, Speedweeks, and web theme of Drag Racing.

Congrats to all the winners! Every build that was entered was a winner in my book. Had a great time, met new friends and renewed old friendships. Vendors were great. Good to see and talk with Gregg(model car mag) and Jim(SA Mag). It was just a typical Super NNL, Southern Style.

It looks like another successful NNL; I am looking forward to the 2009 show. Congratulations to all the award winners; when you think about it, everyone who displayed a model was a winner. Many thanks to those who took photos.
