12th Annual Model Railroad Garage Sale May 15th

Believe it or not the 12th annual Model Railroader Garage sale is just a little less than a month away.  Get that date marked on your calendar as you will not want to miss this terrific event.  Many have already signed up to be vendors, and spaces are filling up quickly.  We will be taking reservations for vendors until May 7th, so if you are wishing to attend this year as a vendor please let us know ASAP.  As mentioned in previous years this 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 the item that they just needed to bring some life to their own layout.

Again this year we will be having the community table.  For those that are not familiar with how the table works is 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 things for the community table we ask that they be brought in to the store no later than May 8th to have them tagged and set up for the sale.  All items and money from the items sold is to be picked up by the end of May.  If you wish more info on putting items on the table please feel free to contact us.

Last year the weather was a little on the wet side and we are really hoping that Mother Nature will shine some sun on us for this year’s event.  Despite the rain last year’s event was well attended and we hope to have this year’s be even better.

This event is hosted FREE of charge for both vendors and those that attend.  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. 

Get out the pen and circle May 15th on your calendars and come on out to share in the fun and excitement of the 12th 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.  In the past this money has been used to purchase the outdoor canopy used last year and many folding tables.  If you have ideas that you would like to see put into place for upcoming events please share them with us—we want to make this an event you want to attend and don’t want to miss.
