23rd Annual Model Railroad Garage Sale-This Weekend.

Here is a friendly reminder that the 23rd Annual Model Railroad Garage Sale happens this Saturday, September 9th running from 9am to 1pm.  There are quite a few vendors signed up and a different mix of items that you will see this year.  A bunch of new items have shown up just in time for the event in the depot as well. There will also be a number of in-store specials and draws.

Come on out, find some bargains, meet some fellow modellers, have a good time. Watch our Facebook page this week for a few little hints of what a few of the deals might be.  We hope that the weather will co-operate with us this year to make this one of the best Garage sales ever.  This year we have over 65+ vendor tables signed up. There should be lots of treasures to find. Come join us Saturday for this fine Modellers-for-Modellers event of 2023 (remember, the event goes on, rain or shine).  All the tents have been set up already to keep everyone covered.

Please note, this is a free event and 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.

23rd Annual Model Railroad Garage Sale—September 9 2023

The 23nd annual Model Railroad Garage sale is coming up fast. Mark September 9, 2023 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 9am – 1pm with vendors allowed to start setting up as early as 7:00 am.

This year we have even more tables than last year.  That means there should be many treasures to be found.

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 Sept 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 September 9, 2023 on your calendars and come on out to share in the fun and excitement of the 23rd Annual Model Railroad Garage Sale.

22nd Annual Model Railroad Garage Sale a Success

The 22nd Annual Model Railroad Garage sale has come and gone, but it has been a great success.  We want to start by thanking all that volunteered, attended and helped get the word out about the event.

It was a huge undertaking to bring this event back after a few years of not being able to host it.  We made some changes to it, including the date.  We moved it from May to September and this will now be when the annual event is held.

Plans are underway already for the 23rd Annual event to be held on September 9, 2023.

There will be more details to follow as the event get closer, but get an early jump on it and keep that date free.

This is a great event to find treasures, meet fellow modellers, find answers to some of your questions, and just have a great time.
