MAMA's Annual Model Car Show and Swap Meet

Our 2023 Mid-Atlantic NNL was a huge success!

Our 2023 Mid-Atlantic NNL Show:
The Maryland Automotive Modelers Association annual Mid-Atlantic NNL was held 13 May 2023. It was a huge success with 169 builders entering 342 of the best built model cars, trucks, and motorcycles on earth!

MAMA also expresses gratitude for all those who supported our show!

A great big thank you to all our trophy sponsors! They made it possible for us to bestow upon our class winners what we happen to think are among the nicest-looking trophies in the hobby.

Another great big thank you to all the vendors who came out to the show and provided participants with plenty of items with which to grow their collections.

We also want to acknowlege the terrific support of the Level Volunteer Fire Hall in providing us an affordable venue and accomodating our schedule. We are particularly thankful for the Ladie's Auxilliary who were key to making the show arrangements, helped set up the tables, and staffed the kitchen to keep us all well fed for both breakfast and lunch!

MAMA especially thanks each and every particiant and visitor who attended our show. You made the show the success that it was.

 

Congratulations to all of our 2023 winners!
