Trainfest in Milwaukee is Sat/Sunday

[dknelson]

November 12 and 13 -- actually In West Allis WI at the Wisconsin State Fair Park exhibition hall.

Each year Keith Schmidt and I try to organize a group photo of all of us who frequent the various Trains.com forums, including this one.  We usually get one or two Kalmbach staff members to join us, and it has been a nice tradition for several years running.

Keith has posted a tentative schedule:

Lets says we meet again at the Kalmbach Booth at Trainfest on Saturday November 12th at 12noon.  Again this is flexible.  Lets see how we do this year.

For more information on Trainfest here is a link to their website

Just bumping my older post as a reminder to forum members to come to the Kalmbach booth on Saturday at noon for the group photo and to meet other Forum members.  If the weather is warm enough I might even unearth the old Forum Member T shirts that Erik Bergstrom had printed up for us.

Hi Dave,

I am looking forward to it.  Trainfest is one of the highlights of this hobby for me each year.  I'll be there wearing a red shirt with Northwoods Flyer embroidered above the pocket.

Does anyone else from this forum plan to be there?

Enjoying the World's Greatest Hobby

Actually the back row is Right to Left -- I am the tall guy in the right back row then Otis etc.  And my screen name is dknelson (engine1385 is email)

And the blond lady in the front row is Mary Graf -- it was probably my handwriting that caused Keith to get the last name wrong by one letter.  But she sure improved the photo didn't she!
