There will be Model Rocket categories in the static model competition with CASH PRIZES. Last year the cash prizes were $300 for 1st place, $200 for 2nd place and $100 for 3rd place in each category - hopefully they will be the same. See flyer for details:

Even though there are no Model Rocket companies signed up as exhibitors at this point in time there are a lot of other manufacturers and retailers of interest to rocketry folks who will be there. It's a great place to load up on adhesives, wood (LOTS of wood), composite airframe building materials, batteries, tools, radio equipment, etc. In the past they even had an electroluminescent flat panel light company which would be of interest to anyone doing night launching.
