21st Annual Model Railroad Garage Sale — May 11, 2019

The 21st annual Model Railroad Garage sale is coming up fast. Mark May 11th on your calendar as you will not want to miss this wonderful event. It is a terrific way for those just starting in the hobby to find some items, meet others in the hobby, gain ideas, and share in discussions. Many have also found that sought after treasure on someone’s table that was just what they needed to bring some life to their own layout.

This event is hosted FREE of charge for both vendors and customers. It is put on as a modellers-for-modellers day to help spread the word that Model Railroading is a fun and fulfilling hobby for all ages. While this event only lasts 4 hours, many hours are spent on the planning and set up of the event. As long as the interest to attend is strong we will continue to put this event on. It runs from 8am - noon with vendors allowed to start setting up as early as 6:30am.

Many have already signed up to be vendors, and spaces are filling up quickly. We will be taking reservations for vendors until April 30th, so if you are wishing to attend this year as a vendor please let us know ASAP.

Also this year, we will again be having the community table. For those that are not familiar with how the table works, it is a way for people to bring just a few things and leave them for sale at the event. If you wish to bring items for the community table we ask that they be brought in to the store already priced no later than May 4th to have them tagged and set up for the sale. If you wish more info on putting items on the table please feel free to contact me.

Get out your pen and circle May 11th on your calendars and come on out to share in the fun and excitement of the 21st Annual Model Railroad Garage Sale.

Please note, the donations received from each year’s event are put back into improving the next year’s event. If you have ideas that you would like to see put into place for upcoming events please share them with us—we want to continue improving this event to ensure it remains something you don’t want to miss.

Inquiries can be made to Carol.

Used Area Expansion Greatly Received

Our used area has been up and running in its new home in the building next door now for over six months.  Stuff continues to come and go quickly.  Many have found treasures and others have managed to sell off some of their over stocked items.

We are hoping that over the summer we will have a little time to set up a separate area on the site dedicated to some of the items that we have in the used section.

If you have any items that you would like to sell on consignment please contact us for information.

Hours for the used area are currently as follows and will stay the same through the summer (these will not extend, but we are more than happy to take you over if you come in the evenings and we have time):

Friday Noon – 5pm
Saturday 9am – 6pm
Sunday 10am – 5pm

If you are looking for something specific feel free to send us your list so we can watch for it.
