From Bob Bergin:

Well it is the new year and that means our 7th Model Expo is coming up. It will be held on Feb 26th from 10:00am to 4:00pm at the Wings Over The Rockies Museum again. The door will be open at 7:00 am for all the clubs and Hobby stores to start their set ups.   We also have been working with Buckley Air Base to have a Blackhawk Helo there for display.  We are still waiting to hear from them. All the paper work is in.

MAS will once again have a club display. Members are invited to bring their airplanes or helicopters. Set up time is from 8:00 am to 9:00am. They are requesting that all models stay in place until 4:00pm.
