| With the recent resurgence of modelers cloning Model Rockets
of yesteryear, there will be 2 official Fun Events during NARAM week complimenting the
previous mentioned practice. The events are Classic Rocket Event and Fantasy Craftsmanship
Event. Jim Zalewski, of the now famous JIM Z website, will sponsor these two Fun Events.
A prize for runner-up and winner will be awarded at the banquet on Friday evening. The
awarding of prizes will give those modelers who do not enter competition at a NARAM the
opportunity to compete on a fun basis and possibly take home an award for their effort.
So, for some ideas on what to enter, start looking through your stash of old kits, catalogs
or surf your way over to the JIM Z website at
