Hi all,

Just wanted to get an early jump on announcing our 2013 show and contest.

We'll be hosting our show next June, 21-22 (Friday and Saturday) 2013 at the Sumter Convention Center, Sumter, SC.

Full details can be found on our club's Current Contest Page:

AMPS Central SC::June 2013 Contest Page

Check it out and re-visit often. We'll be posting the most up-to-date information on the show as things develop.

Hope to see you there!

Sounds good Mike. I hope to make it again this year. Hopefully with something following the theme.

Jesse,

We're anticipating a really great show this year.

We're sharing a MUCH larger venue with the IPMS / USA Region-12 Convention, and between us (AMPS and IPMS) we have 94 vendor tables and almost 100 display tables (with some room to grow). This year, AMPS will have our own dedicated judging area along with space where we can conduct our judges' training.

The Sumter Convention Center has been newly renovated and up-dated and is a beautiful, modern facility with ample (free) parking and close proximity to hotels and restaurants. It also features on-site hot concessions, so you never even have to leave the show!

Already, we've sold more than 20 of the vendor tables, and we only just officially announced the show. If anyone out there in Armorama-land is considering vending at the show, they should contact us as soon as possible to reserve their tables!

As always, we'll put our corporate raffle donors' logos and contact info up on our website. We can also include hot-links to their corporate or business websites.

Finally, we're happy to accept sponsors for contest categories and special awards. We also post the names of these sponsors on our website.

Raffle donor and awards sponsor names and other information are prominently displayed during the show itself, so this is a great opportunity for model-related businesses to get some prime exposure targeted right at their customer base.

Anyone interested in these opportunities, please check out our website AMPS Central South Carolina for more detailed information on our up-coming show and photo galleries of our previous shows.

AMPS Central SC and IPMS Gamecocks Sumter-Shaw AFB are looking forward to seeing you in June!

'Til then,

Happy Modeling!

This show is coming up fast. Less than two weeks to put the finishing touches on everything.
