Large Vendor Area
At ROCON, we have vendors that range from local and regional hobby shops, kit collectors, and those of us who have found that our "stash" has gotten a little too big. You're sure to find the kits, decals, books, paints, tools, and modeling supplies you need for your next project.
Great Raffles
Take your chance on the big ROCON kit raffle - you can't win if you don't play! Winners are announced throughout the day. In addition to the award you won in the contest, you may go home with more kits to add to your collection.
General Admission
Bring the family for a fun day - you don't need to be a member to enjoy the superbly crafted models on display. Get the kids interested in a good old-time "analog" hobby! Modeling helps develop hand-eye coordination, three-dimensional thinking and problem solving, not to mention an appreciation for history.
