2009 "BEST OF SHOW" WINNERModel Train and Diorama Show - Elsie, Oregon
Our 2009 model contest Best of Show award went home with Gary Brooks for his HO scale waterfront diorama.
The scene includes a dock with associated commercial structures, a tug handling a log raft and the famous
Manary Logging Company floating bunkhouse, office and dining hall on a barge.
Congratulations, Gary, on a scratchbuilding and kitbashing job well done.

MODEL CONTEST NEWS!
Pacific Model Loggers Congress 2009 Award Plaque - Model Train and Mini-Diaroma Show in Elsie  Oregon
Continuing our tradition this year, we’re giving model contest winners First Place
and Second Place plaques and Third Place certificates. Our award plaques are
cedar,with classy laser etching by Rich Shepard of RS Laser Kits, and you'll
receive the award the day of the event.

Our model contest includes individual models and dioramas, and this year we’re continuing a new
“Mini Diorama” contest class. The day promises to be a round table bull session on all subjects involving the Northwest wood products industry, including its history, preservation, and modeling-related material.

New Camp Cars Contest Class!
See our Contest Info page for complete information about this fun new category for contest models.

New Honor Awards
Starting with the 2009 event we instituted two new annual honor awards. See the Photo Gallery page to learn more about this year’s recipients.

The Dean of the Woods award is given for outstanding service in the preservation of wood products history.

The Memorial Award,” sponsored by Timber Times Publishing, is given in remembrance of our friends who have passed. This award is given to the model contest entry that typifies the spirit of our hobby.


SHOW INFORMATION

Admission is $15 per person at the door. There is no pre-registration.

LIGHTS! CAMERA! ACTION!
We've made significant improvements to the room and contest model lighting in the Camp 18 event room, so the dimly-lit contest area is a thing of the past. You'll almost need sunglasses from now on.

Dealers: Space is very limited and our dealer tables are sold out for the 2010 event. We occasionally have cancellations so if you’d like to be “on the list” call Lon Wall at (503) 434-1648. We’re exploring options that would allow us to expand our dealer sales area and that would open up more table availability. Likewise, if you’d like to be “on the list” please let us know by phone or email us via the Contact Us form by clicking here.

All vending is strictly limited to logging-related items, and will be available on a first-reserved, first-served basis

Meals are available at the Camp 18 Restaurant, and they’re darn good, too! Breakfast starts around 7 am and is served until 2 pm, lunch starts at 11 am, and dinner selections are served starting at 5 pm. Be sure to check out the famous Camp 18 cinnamon rolls – they’re huge and delicious!

For general information, phone Lon Wall, (503) 434-1648, or Jeff Johnston, (541) 485-8203.
E-mail us with questions or for more info.
