Name Day
Held the first Saturday in October, every year, NAME Day is a national event that takes place regionally. All the different NAME clubs plan a special day to get together and make a one-of-kind project. Along with the national project, the CMS day typically includes door prizes, raffles, a silent auction, and an amazing potluck lunch. Not only does CMS spend the day making some our favorite things, but eating our favorite foods!
2022 is the 50th anniversary of NAME and includes a special NAME Day display box for 12 of your very special miniatures. Although the box is 1:12 the shelves are easily modified to work with any scale.
