Fostoria Railroad Festival '04
Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, August 25, 2004 11:20 PM
I hope this is not too far off topic,

This year marks the third annual Fostoria Railroad Festival. This year we have a new location for the Model Railroad and Railroadania swap meet and we are actively seeking vendors, set up is $15 for an 8ft table, vendors taking 2 or more tables will receive a substantial discount for next year.

After a good start the festival is quickly building momentum, we also feature a large Modular model railroad. And the former NKP (LE&W) station downtown will be open for tours.

More info is available at http://www.visitfostoria.com/

Later...I will have more (and very positive) news on the future of railfanning and preservation in Fostoria.

Aaron Gonya, Member, Fostoria Train tourism and Railroad festival committees


Also... this is my first post on this forum, but I have been reading for quite awhile and I like what I see, I'm a life long Railfan and Model Railroader (NKP and Conrail) in HO, lapsed member of NKPHTS, and avid Photog. I'm also constructing what I hope will be the start of Fostoria's own Modular model railroad, (Once I find someone else to put the organization together) so in the future I hope I can contribute here a little bit.

Thanks for reading, hope to see some of you in Fostoria. Saturday October 9th !

Lapsed NKPHTS member?!? For shame!

Thanks for the press release Aaron. Unfortunately, I won't be able to make it. I'll be using up the last of my vacation days for the NKPHTS convention in Bellevue, Ohio, on October 1-2. Fostoria's not that far from the Mad River & NKP Museum....maybe you should stop by and renew?

This is a fun event and I hope to make it to another one! It is just a really far drive...
But if I get spare time I will make it to this one! [:)]
