 Our 20th year was a record-breaking success!
WonderFesters turned out in droves, defying a downturned economy, to celebrate 20 years of weekend gatherings in Louisville!
WonderFest 2009 welcomed us back into our mothership hotel, now named the Crowne Plaza. The dealer's rooms were packed, the Alien-themed events were a hit, and we broke every record for the largest number of entries ever in our Amazing Model Contest with 505 fantastic works (like the Mummy model shown at right)!
Now we're recovered and starting to plan the 2010 show. No theme just yet, or guests, but as is our tradition, look for updates near New Year's 2010. Maybe a bit sooner!
Amazing Model Contest winners
In 2009 we hit an all-time record number of entries with 505 models! Thanks to all those who entered, our amazing sponsors who provided awesome prizes...and the judges who faced the daunting challenge of choosing from the best work in the hobby!
We've got lastyear's winners list along with newly-completed records of past 'Fest winners going all the way back to 1999. Please let us know of any misspellings or mistakes--we're translating handwritten forms.
