I found the whole show very welcoming. They could space vendor rows out a little more because there is a lot of visitors and not a lot of room to move around especially when people are trying to look at the booths. Maybe add a tent off the side of the building to help work flow and still be able to heat/ air condition

There's a lot more HO than anything else (which probably just speaks to relative popularity) but as a N scale guy I still found some fun stuff. Prices as good as cheaper online stores, but you get to see the merchandise in-person! More of a swap meet than "show" though, I think kids would be bored.

I like it too. If you don't see anything at the show there's always next month except July.

Great place to buy, sell, and trade! In all 5 buildings at the fairgrounds. Valley Model Railroad has a layout that kids can run! Something for nearly every scale modeler!
