Trainfest wants SGMA back!
Want to attend Trainfest 2013 but you're not a SGMA member? No problem! Just join SGMA today, start building your SGMA modules, and come to Trainfest 2013 with SGMA!
I just received in the mail a formal invitation from Trainfest for SGMA to return to their 2013 show in Milwaukee! This year the show will be held on November 9th & 10th with setup scheduled on November 8th.
As every SGMA member knows who participated in Trainfest 2012, it's a great show! We all had a wonderful time and taking home the "Best of Show - Display" award was just icing on the cake! Trainfest claims to be "America's Largest Operating Model Railroad Show" and with over 70 model train layouts operating at the 2012 show, I have little doubt that their claim is correct. In addition, with Trainfest's annual attendance now exceeding 25K, Trainfest could now also be the largest annually scheduled train show in the nation. Those facts make being part of the Trainfest experience with SGMA even more exciting and rewarding! Check out SGMA at Trainfest 2012 at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnlwaBid7kQ
According to the invitation package, SGMA must submit to Trainfest our completed registration form and our proposed modular layout diagram so that it's in their hands no later than June 1st. Therefore, if you want to attend Trainfest 2013 with SGMA and have your modules included in SGMA's Trainfest 2013 layout, you will need to join SGMA and commit to building a specific number of modules before the proposed layout diagram is finalized and mailed to Trainfest on May 15th.
So, who wants to go to Trainfest 2013 in Milwaukee with SGMA? If you do, join SGMA today, start building your SGMA modules, and get ready for a great time playing with Standard Gauge "Tinplate Trains" in Milwaukee at Trainfest 2013.
