MOSS CON 2011

On Saturday, October 22, 2011 we had our first-ever model show and competition -- MOSS CON 2011-- held at White House Theatre / Legend of Kung Fu.
We partnered with the 4 State Modelers club from Joplin, Missouri in order to hold this competition. The show theme was "On the Move" - where any model that represented movement frozen in time would be eligible for the special award.
The goal of the show was to raise money for the Tri-County Cerebral Palsy Center in Webb City, Missouri. We were able to raise $1,033.00 for this very deserving and hard-working organization. It was very successful for a first show; there were 42 model entries. Thanks... to all our sponsors and participants!!
