Helping out with the local IPMS chapter and putting up announcements for "Best of the West" contest, October 10, 2009, south of Las Vegas at Railroad Pass Casino, Boulder City, Nevada. That may sound out of the way, but Railroad Pass is located at/near the main interstate junctions between Utah, Arizona, and Southern California. (Las Vegas Strip and downtown hotel/casinos are less than fifteen minutes away, either from the I-15 or 215.)

This is an open contest, and you don't have to be an IPMS member to enter. Contest is taking place a week before OrangeCon in CA, so here's good place to fine-tune whatever you might be bringing to that one.
