Hello everyone,
Hope your weekend was as good as mine? I attended one of my most favorite model contests (every year). It is held by the North Olympic Peninsula Modeling Society, at Fort Warden State Park, located in Port Townsend, Washington, USA.
Here is the link to my photos:

But soon you will be able to see way more of them on their site:

Sorry I don't have more pictures, but I was tied up with judging the Aircraft categories with a bunch of great judges and that really cut into my photo taking. Ok the large amount of time I spent in the vendors room didn't help either. And of course I had to pick up a bunch of Raffle winners too. I had a bunch (we are still trying to figure the exact number out but it's close to 23) winning raffle tickets. I had 14 winners in the first two rounds. Then while I was judging one of my buddies picked up the rest of the winners. Of course I gave a bunch away to members of our club and a few away to friends that weren't as lucky as I was. Hey we've got to spread the wealth around a little don't we?
Thanks to all the guys/gals that I saw or met for the first time too.
I did manage to do pretty well too. I got four 1st place ribbons, one 2nd place ribbon and four 3rd place ribbons. Not bad for a fun day with models and friends.
One of our members also won the grand prize raffle (a picture of General Longstreet from the US Civil War). Since he's from the South and the General was from the South, you can imagine how happy he was? Congrats Bill.
Enjoy.
Shawn
