Bill, Arden here. I have been an NIA member since 1993 and have been to about 10 plus conventions. The team that organizes and runs the conventions, led by Shiela Rempel, do a great job. They are top notch. They are fun, down to earth people and am sure will have exciting things to do. The judging is top notch as well ...led by Ron Mroz. I have not had my car judged, but I assume that others can testify to it...1000 pt system...and you get a print-out of your results. So, come and enjoy.
The main car show day has been on THURS of convention week. And, they have a PLP (Parking lot party) virtually every evening.

The costs...keep going up. In the past it has been about $50 reg and $25 / $28 for the banquet...plus other add-ons for extra trips / meals.
