The Northern Ohio Garden Railway Society will be setting up a display at the Expo. It will be a combination of a portable Live Steam track and a tabletop electric display. We have done this before at the World’s Greatest Hobby Show and the Berea Train Show. It has been a real hit with the crowd.
I’m looking for volunteers to help set up the display on Thursday, May 14 from 12noon-2pm. We also need volunteers to help with the crowd on Friday, May 15 and Saturday May 16 from 10am-4pm. If you are only able to cover half of a day, please let me know if it’s the first or second half. I will be taking the display down at the end of the show on Saturday and packing it in my X3.
I will have badges for the volunteers covering the show. The parking is free.
In conjunction with the Train Expo, will be the Midwest Garden Railroad Gathering. It will run from May 13 to May 17. They are looking for people to open up their garden railroads for people to come and see. I was also told that there would be a banquet on Friday night at the B&O Station, 15 minutes from the Expo. It would be buffet style dinner with a cash bar. The cost would be $35. If you are interested in showing off your layout or attending the dinner, please let me know so that I could pass it along.
Thank you,
Allen
