What a wonderful event.  This was not my first ever convention (having founded and co-hosted the NEMROC conventions and being heavily involved in the Pearl River MODROC conventions), but it was my first NARCON event.   Unfortunately, as a vendor there, I simply did not have the time to participate in the "convention" part of NARCON.

It was a great experience and was very well run by the members of WHOOSH.  I would like to thank Kevin Wickart (Director), Scott Goebel (Facilities coordinator and WOOSH President), Gabe Kolesari (Vendor coordinator), Pavel Pinkas (Registration), Mike Vande Bunt (Events), Scott Hansen (Webmaster) and Dan Wolf (Executive Officer).  This fine group of people, and all of the member of WOOSH put on a fine convention.

It was also fun to meet up with some old friends like Bob Kaplow and Peter Alway and to visit with the many new friends I've made since starting this venture such as Jon Hatch, Mike Erpelding, Walt Evans, and many more too numerous to mention.

FlisKits had a very successful time out in Wisconsin.   Our vendor booth was very well received, and was busy whenever classes weren't in session.  We were able to display and talk about some new products that are coming out, such as the Stingray model rocket kit.  We were also able to participate in the Wisconsin leg of the Tour de Deuce program with Jon Hatch.

We came home with good sales, many new customers and several new retailers for our products, not to mention a successful Tour de Deuce launch at the sport launch that was going on at the same time.
