Come to Milwaukee and celebrate 75 years of modeling history in the place where it all began back in 1935. Walk on the same streets where Al Kalmbach, Bill Walthers and those other modeling pioneers lived and worked. We have planned an outstanding modeling program and an excellent general interest program, so bring the entire family. There are special events to choose from each night of the week. There will be operating sessions, layout tours, prototype tours, clinics on Midwestern topics and of course the contests and silent auction.
