That evening, an informal din- ner party assembled at a local Greek restaurant and many tales of past NSA and ISU conventions were discussed as well as various aspects of View-Master collecting, 3-D photography, etc. A good time was had by all and everyone left with a great feeling of expectation for the events yet to come. On Saturday, the convention opened promptly at 9 a.m. with a variety of new View-Master items offered for sale, courtesy of the German View-Master Club, 3-D Book Productions and the Museum 3-D. The convention proceeded into the museum's meeting room for View-Master projections. Five View-Master photographers entered their personal reels for exhibition in a photo contest, and these were judged by all of the attendees on a 1-10 scoring basis. After the photo contest we were treated to a potpourri of rare and unusual View-Master reels.
