28 Vendors that will be

Heartland Show

Text Box: This is a special page to acknowledge and thank the sponsors, vendors, and “friends” that support the 17th Annual Heartland Model Car Nationals either financially or with goods or services. Without each and every one of these great business and individuals behind the show, the Heartland Event wouldn’t be possible! Vendors are encouraged to reserve their tables TODAY!!! At the 2007 Contest, we had so many vendors, we ran out of tables! Lock in your tables today! As a vendor or sponsor of a Heartland Model Car Nationals, your name (and/or business information) is posted here from the time of sale through February, 2009. The Slammers offer this as a bonus to you for supporting the show and the hobby of model car building. The KC Slammers would ESPECIALLY like to recognize and thank from the bottom of our car-luvin’ hearts the great folks over at GoMotorBids.com for stepping up to the plate and sponsoring 13 of the judging categories. That’s an all-time record by HMCN standards and it shows GoMotorBids.com commitment to providing the best of the best when it comes to quality scale models and all types of racing (especially NASCAR) diecasts and collectibles of all types. If you haven’t checked them out yet, head over their way as soon as you’re finished here on the Slammers Website!

The KC Slammers want to thank the great sponsors that stepped up to support the 2008 Heartland Contest and invite you to join us this summer for another great contest and show! Although our 46 categories of sponsorship are sold out for this year, if you or your company would still like to make a donation of cash, merchandise, or services to support this great show, we would like to invite you to contact either President Bill Barker or Treasurer Robert Perillo (their contact info is over on the Heartland Contest Page on this website).
