Hello Paul:

Thank you, I have heard it is a great drive. However, I am in the western suburbs, which makes the trek a little longer than from Glenview. In addition, having a 2 1/2 old that still requires naps also makes journeys a little more challenging.

Regards,

John

John,
Once past Milwaukee it's a really nice drive up to Green Bay. My wife and kids and I go up to Door county a few times a year and it's a drive I don't mind taking. But with gas prices now it could be expensive. I'd like to go but have baseball and other family things planned.

Is there some information online regarding this show? It sounds interesting, but being in Chicagoland, it may be a tough trip me to make.

Regards,

John

I went last year for both days and it was quite a rush. There was an abundance of volume discount dealers, many from states surrounding Wisconsin. You could find about anything made in N scale. Lots of vintage N scale too.

I'll be there but I am living within sight of the old Green Bay and Western yards!
It is well worth the trip and we have the railroad museum, Packer Hall of Fame and a whole lot more entertaining things to do.
