This is the article I wrote for my car club newsletter regarding the FDL NNL

The Model car contest which Lori and I ran again this year was down with people entering but those people had brought more models to display. We used the NNL approach to award the builders using participant and some spectator voting as well. Residents of the ARC also came by to see the models and were given the chance to vote on their favorites as well. NNL means Nameless National Luminaries. This was the name given to entrants of a model event some years ago as a way to get away from the judged shows, and now these are held all across the country. My own model club holds such an event every year for 17 years now. It is a non-competitive event without actual judging criteria but voted on by peers. The idea being that other modelers can and will recognize skill and originality in their fellow modelers’ builds. Special thanks to Al and Kathy Stout, members of the Auto Modelers Group of Milwaukee, for helping out Sunday by helping model builders enter their cars and watching over the tables throughout the day, which allowed me to get in another drawing for a client that day. The winners of the day were:
ADULT CLASS
1ST PLACE……..RUSS COLLINS age 47
1948 Ford convertible, poseable wheels and two toned flocked interior
2ND PLACE…….AL STOUT age 64
3RD PLACE…….BRETT MCDONALD age 44
Replica of plow truck used for Racine county, mostly scratch built except for the cab. Box, plow, wing was scratch built and was fully functional. All hydraulic lines were replicated. Had realistic weathering to depict heavy usage.

INTERMEDIATE CLASS
1ST PLACE…..JUSTIN TAYLOR age 15
1940 Ford with recessed fire wall, grave digger headers, Goodyear drag wheels and transmission from a funny car kit.

JUNIOR CLASS
1ST PLACE……LOGAN LAJSIC age 11
1969 Charger R/T
2nd PLACE…….JASMINE TAYLOR age 9
Chevy, “I put it together by myself. I only had help with the stickers.”
3RD PLACE……NOLAN LAJSIC age 8
1966 Chevelle Malibu wagon.

Hopefully we can get more modelers to come to the Corn Roast and enjoy the day. The name from now on will be known as the Fond Du Lac NNL at the WSRA Corn Roast.
