CSM 2010 Contest after Action Report by Don Flynn We had 92 contest entrants, about 350 models on the tables, and about 280 general admissions. About 100 fewer than last year, but we had 80+ vendor tables sold. We also had 16 young modelers at the Make N Take. Overall, a bit smaller than last year but another great Saturday thanks to all who volunteered! And we did better than break even 1

In a few cases we had fewer than three models in a category and (due to an oversight on my part, says Rob Schorry) we did not combine those with another grouping, which is not like earlier years. 5
