There were kids there. I wouldn't use this to gauge the Hobby.
I thought I saw more children than that , even a mom with an infant. My impression was there were quite a few families and the crowd seemed younger than York. . I arrived about 15 minutes after the doors opened. There was aline to get in and the place was quite packed. A lot of wagons filled to thebrim with product, Seemed like Costco. LCCA seems to have a younger demographic it would seem.
I managed to avail myself of a few of thos e$2 Morning Sun books, a Lionchief plus RS-3 Boston and Maine , about 8 cars from the $20 table and a pair of road houses plus some Christmas ornaments and Christmas cards. I have been there on a Saturday and sundae in prior years. There are always parents or grandparents with children.
In the past lionel had more layouts with displays and trains running. Be nice to see that next time.
Marty thanks for posting the pics. I spotted my Misses in one of the photos handling the cart with my goodies.
