To be held Saturday, March 21. 9am-1pm. Located at Grace Church, 7 E. Maple Avenue. Merchantville, NJ  08109.

Thanks, Chris.

 

I actually plan on bringing a few tubs of tools and model supplies from my Father in Law's estate along with the usual items to sell. 

 

If someone is interested in one of those Dremel jigsaw/sanders, or in a large box of balsa wood, they definitely need to let me know so I can bring either along to the meet.

Dear Forum members,

     We are now at our all time high for table sales and it does appear there possibly may be 2 estates for sale at Cherry Valley meet and the April 18th Strasburg show. Our famous Kielbasa sandwiches and good fellowship will make this a fun day, and, of course, our layout open house. Hope to see you all there. 

    As of this email we only have 2 tables left, so don't dawdle , first come-first served.

                                            Thanks, John P.Dunn Sr. Pres. CVMRR

Well train fans, an update on this coming Saturday's swap meet and open house:

 

We spent yesterday at the club cleaning the layout tracks and room, and fine tuned our operational system. The layout is ready to rock!

 

Our dealers are preparing to bring all manner of goodies and great deals to lighten your wallets. Don't let them down!

 

The kitchen crew has been sent the shopping list to satisfy your food hunger. Everything else should satisfy your train hunger.

 

If I can get free, I hope to shoot video of an around-the-layout trip.

See you Saturday!

I wish to thank everyone who came to the swap meet yesterday. The dealers all had a pretty good day and it sure looked like the attendees were walking out the door with plenty of boxes! Weather was not an issue.

 

All of us at Cherry Valley appreciate your patronage and hoped you enjoyed the day, food, camaraderie and layout. See you all again in September.
