"CHASERCON" 2017 (NATIONAL STORM-CHASER CONVENTION)

The storm chaser convention in 2017 took place from February 17th through the 19th in Denver, Colorado at the Hilton Doubletree off Quebec Street and just south of I-70. This event was not attended in 2016 (as it was in Oklahoma City that year). This continues to be a great event each year, thanks to the great efforts of Roger Hill and his group!
