I know that Trainfest is not primarily a garden railway show but I also know plenty of garden railroaders make it there each year.

Last we some of us tried to start a new tradition of Trains.com forum regulars meeting at the Kalmbach booth for a group photo and a chance to put faces with familiar names.  Please come to Trainfest and by all means join us Saturday the 11th at 11:30 am at the Kalmbach booth.  I will try to bring a small Trains.com Forums sign so we know which corner is "ours."

Darn. I'm going to miss the photo! I won't be there until mid-afternoon. But if anyone is still there, stop by the Kalmbach booth and say hello.

Rene and others keep watching this spot, the time is not written in stone and the afternoon may well work out better for some of us

I will try to post a final decision on time on Thursday afternoon

The decision is now that we will meet at the Kalmbach booth at HIGH NOON on Saturday and we hope to see lots of folks there.  With luck perhaps you can get there a bit early Rene?

Dave,
I will try, but I'm not sure. Hubby is coming along too and isn't as punctual as I tend to be. *grin*

Sorry I missed it! I wasn't feeling well Friday and early Saturday morning, but I did make it to my later-afternoon shift. It sure was busy! My hubby bought the Lionel diecast Hiawatha engine, so his budget is blown for a while. :)
