Hi, I live about 40 minutes north of Pittsburgh, and fly with a club called MARS. Used to fly at the ARCS club.
A couple of months ago, I spoke with a guy named Pete Cosky, who is president of another PA club, the Beaver County Model Airplane Club, and he was talking about organizing a local pattern contest. I suggest that anyone interested should get in touch with him, as the more that are willing to participate, the more likely the event will actually happen.
The website for his club and email is:
