I thought I’d jump in here with a little local information on places to stay in Eau Claire, WI in July. Eau Claire is part of the “Chippewa Valley” area which is the gateway to Wisconsin’s “North Woods” tourist area and has lots of motels and places to stay from low priced to higher priced. Our weather in July is usually very pleasant, warm days, cool nights.
The Train Show is going to take place at our Expo Center which is part of our 2,000 acre Headquarters Campus here in Eau Claire. We are located in a suburban area on a main 4 lane highway (312) and it is easy access for RVs and Motorhomes.
Our Expo Center is new, modern and fully air conditioned. This is a really nice “corporate” type place, not some hot, dusty pole barn Fairgrounds building. Lots of beautiful restrooms and there will be food vendors.
We are happy to be able to announce that Menards will be able to offer free camping to show attendees and participants on Friday, Saturday and Sunday night. (no hookups, some grassy areas, some gravel areas, some black top areas for you to choose from. 1st come, 1st choice, but there is plenty of room so don’t worry about being turned away!!) All camping would be immediately adjacent to the Expo Center
We will have all our train products on display and available for sale along with some glimpses into future products as well as some closeouts and other bargains.
This is shaping up to be a really great event, we are very happy to be part of it and look forward to seeing all of you in person!!
