The Family that models together...Stays Together! For 35 years straight, producers, sculptors and modelers alike from around the Nation, and indeed the World have been flocking to Louisville, Kentucky for the Best Damn Modeling Event in the Land...WONDERFEST USA! Proof of that can be found in the official WF 2025 Class Portrait that we proudly present for your viewing pleasure. Throw up a "Hell Yea!" if you're in it folks! While the record wasn't broken for the picture attendance, we still had 151 lost souls, skallywags and assorted riff-raff turn out for what is fast becoming known as the place to be seen and photographed at WF Weekend. As for the rest of you sinners who failed to show, fear not as we forgive you, but only if you swear upon your favorite Billikens that you'll come next year and hoist a mug in celebration of all things that can be built and painted. Trust us, in 2026 WF is boldly planning to go where no Model Convention has gone before! Special thanks to Ace Photographer Jim Lawrence and his amazing photographic skills. Please feel free to share and pass along throughout all appropriate Modeling Communities.

You will receive a full refund if notice is given before the thirty-day deadline.
Please note, after the thirty-day cancellation notice has passed, we do not offer full refunds.

If you fail to cancel and become a no-show the day of the class, all fees are forfeited.
