23rd Annual Model Railroad Garage Sale

The 23rd 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 6:30am.
Many have already signed up to be vendors, and spaces are filling up quickly. We will be taking reservations for vendors until September 3, 2023 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 August 28, 2023 to have them tagged and set up for the sale. All items and money from the items sold are to be picked up by the end of September. If you wish more info on putting items on the table please feel free to contact me via phone 519-807-2345 or email carol@countylinecaboose.ca, or send a private message through Facebook
Get out your pen and circle September 9th on your calendars and come on out to share in the fun and excitement of the 23rd 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.
This event is hosted in the big garage next door as well as tents that are brought in for the event-event goes ahead rain or shine
