This year, for some reason defying all logic, the decision was made to do another large diorama. The club had not done one of those since 2014. Those participating in the diorama this year were; Cory Lord, Gray Ghost, Hammer Six, Panzercommander and Dr. Zorkon. Cory Lord provided the train cars and track, Gray Ghost was responsible for the grass base and did a lot of the setup, as well as the end of track bumper. Hammer Six provided the sd.kfz 251, the Marder II and a lot of the troops. Panzercommander provided the Horch, Flak gun and crew, Dr. Zorkon did the vegetation. It was quite a setup and was pretty amazing to see. The armor sitting on the flatcars just had to be seen in person to really appreciate the scale. Great job guys!
As mentioned previously, we had more vendors this year than in previous years and there was really some great stuff to drain your wallet. I know that mine was quite a bit lighter by the time I left the venue on Sunday evening. Below are listed the fine folks that helped make this year's CON a success.

AND THAT.... Pretty much wraps up this year's con. My apologies to anyone, or anything that I missed... I can guarantee that it was not intentional. Well... it was another great show and I am going to say the same thing I say every year, "If you live in the region and you're saying to yourself right now, I wish I had gone... Well... you have no one's backside to kick but your own. It was a great time!
