11th Annual Model Railroad Garage Sale

Well once again our Model Railroad Garage sale is just a distant memory.  While the weather did not co-operate well this year, everyone that came found some treasures, made some new friends, and may have even learned a few tricks of the hobby that they were not aware of before.

Attendance was up even though the weather man forecasted gloom for the day.  Plans for the 2010 event have already begun and more details will released in upcoming newsletters.  If you wish to be a volunteer for the 2010 event please contact me.

I wish to thank all the vendors and buyers that came to make the show a success.  A big heartfelt thanks also goes to our wonderful volunteers and all those that stayed to help clean up the event at the end—it was greatly appreciated.  I think we got things put away in record-breaking time and in-between the rain drops—thanks again.

Also all the donations collected from the event go right back into it to improve it for next year.  This year we added the 26’ x 12’ canopy for extra vendors to be able to sell outside when the bays filled.  We also are slowly starting to purchase folding 6 foot tables to make the event more uniform in setup as well.
