Hobby,Collectable and Craft Expo

Hobby, Collectable and Craft Show – South Glens Falls, NY

The Upstate Model Railroaders will be hosting our 1st annual Hobby, Collectable and Craft Show on Sunday December 11, 2016 at the Chase Sports Complex, 22 Hudson Falls Road, South Glens Falls, N.Y. The show will be open from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Admission is $5.00 for adults, children under 12 free.

The show will feature operating train layouts in HO, N, Z, O, S, Lego, and G Scale, In addition there will be an indoor RC Flying area featuring the Flying Tigers, RC car track, Display by Dunham Studios, and Southern style BBQ by The Smoke Shack. Also there will be Vendor tables for Model Railroader, Radio Control planes and vehicles, and crafts. There will also be a hands on train layout for the children

Our organization’s mission is to own, operate and maintain model railroad layouts at a suitable location in the Glens Falls area and set up displays in Glens Falls and surrounding communities in Warren, Washington and Saratoga Counties.  These events will be designed to educate the public and our members regarding the history of railroading in the United States, particularly in the Northeast, and the service and benefits railroads have provided to our economy from the early 1900's to present. The club will also strive to teach adults and children how to set up model train layouts and scenic dioramas depicting prototype railroad operations by bringing modular railroad layouts to schools, civic events and celebrations, and by setting up train layouts for display at local malls.  With the exception of our annual fundraising train show, all events put on by our club are at no charge to the public although we appreciate donations. We are open to the public every Wednesday night from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Upstate Model Railroaders, Inc. is a 501(c)3 charitable organization recognized by the Internal Revenue Service.  Donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.

Thanks for trying to get some sanity into the posts, but people to continue to either not understand that people outside their communities won't now of their show by name, or want you to look anyway.

Little in the hobby annoys me more than when someone's going on and on about a show known by just the event name (or worse, an acronym) and they get really cross when you ask where the heck it is.

Just listing you show as, say, "The big kahuna train show" will mean something if you live nearby or belong to the group putting it on. But people more than 30-40 miles away won't likely have a clue what country you're talking about, let alone what community.

That's why I rarely ever look online for these things other than the local region NMRA page, which is excellent for listing even small shows in my region. I didn't travel outside the area to go to trains shows even before the pandemic.
