Dear Sponsors,

Thanks to all of you who helped make Wright Field Scale Modelers' inaugural event --  the IPMS/USA Region IV 2012 Convention -- a huge success!  We look forward to seeing you all again in 2013, along with some new sponsors as well.

By popular demand, we will again be hosting the IPMS/USA Region IV 2013 Convention -- Friday and Saturday, April 12 & 13, 2013, at the Hope Hotel and Conference Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio. 

The event will be held just minutes away from one of the top military museums in the world, the National Museum of the United States Air Force, and is expected to draw a very strong turnout of model fans and their families.  Our 2012 event saw 130 modelers enter 750 amazing works of art,  and over 250 general admission visitors, and we expect to see an increase in 2013.

Highlights of the two-day show will include a spacious, well-lighted vendor area, modeling seminars, a “Make ‘N Take” for young modelers, a Friday night social time, and a tour of the restoration hangar at the Air Force Museum (by reservation through NMUSAF).  The contest site, the Hope Hotel, will offer on-site dining and concessions and a special room rate of $75 + tax per night.

We invite you to become a sponsor of this fantastic event, offering two days of exposure to hundreds of interested and dedicated modelers from the Miami Valley, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, just for starters.  A variety of category and “best of” sponsorship packages are available, starting at just $25 for a single category sponsorship (includes 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place awards).
