   Hi Joe,
   I was wondering if there is a web page for this show or a place to get more info? I may be able to make the trip. Still working on the schedule for the weekend.

      Thanks,
          Barry

Dear Barry,

Thanks for your interest, and for the bump.

There is no official website, but here is a photo of the flier for the show:

   Hi Joe,
   Well I made the Motel Rsvp. & I even talked my wife into coming with. She may decide to not go to the show, but she made me promise to go see my Grandmother. This is a good thing.
   I am originally from that area and get there a few times a year as I have alot of relatives still there.
   I will keep in contact as my Itinerary progresses.

        Thanks,
              Barry

Dear All,

Had a good time for the few hours that I was able to attend the show early  Saturday. 

Met Barry, a true gentleman and enthusiast for the hobby. 

(He spotted my hat first.)

Lots of impressive club-size HO and N layouts, a number of 3RO layouts, one Lego layout and one large scale (mostly 1:29) floor layout. 

A few more vendors than layouts, a nice mix overall.   

Met some local LS enthusiasts. 

Did not see any On30, unfortunately.

See you at the Menomonie, WI train show next spring.
