Hobby Show Events for 2018

Below is a list of Hobby Show events that are scheduled for the Southern California area for the year 2018. Some of the shows listed will also have a model building contest incorporated within the show. Other shows are vendor shows, but may also have a "Display Only" area where model builders may show their works for public display. The * will indicate the events that I will not be attending as a vendor (subject to change).
