2010 Mid-Continent Regional Convention

During the 10th, 11th, 12th, and 13th of June 2010, the Eastern Iowa Division (EID) hosted the annual convention of
the Mid-Continent Region of the NMRA at The Crossroads of Eastern Iowa, Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

This convention marked the 60th Anniversary of the Mid-Continent Region, and was the first time
a Mid-Continent Region (MCoR) convention was held in eastern Iowa. Perhaps it won't be the last.
