Results of the HAMS (2020 in) 2021 Model Car Contest

Posted on July 25th, 2021 in Blog by Michael Stucker

After a year off because of COVID-19, our model car show returned and it appears to have been a great successs. We had 45 modelers from Texas, Louisiana, & Colorado enter a record 232 models. We even managed to add 4 extra vender tables, which were all sold out.

One note on trophies we forgot to mention during the awards ceremony. The show was called “(2020 in) 2021” because all the trophies (except the theme award) were in our possession before the 2020 show was cancelled. So they carried the 2020 date instead of 2021.
