I used to participate with the Trackers. The show, IMO, went downhill. The Equestrian Center, is, putting it in friendly terms, a nightmare to navigate. Most of the show is on the arena floor, with no indications on how to get down there with some stuff around the upper level and all stairs through the seating area closed. Once you find the way to the floor, it is a narrow, single-file, flimsy stairway downstairs to what is mostly toys, dolls, and N & HO trains.
For exhibitors, people must drive their vehicles one at a time into the building...not doing THAT anymore!
Like today's Greenberg Shows in the DC area, it is not worth the time and $$$ to go.
SJC, I was psyched cuz it is a kid friendly show with several layouts of all sizes and plenty of room to take a break and have an overpriced Pepsi. I had no idea of the logistics of being an exhibitor but as a customer, me and my son would spend the entire day there and had a great time. Over time there were fewer doll houses and more train and hobby things. Doll house miniatures have found a place on our layout. The main thing is that it is real close to our home unlike Timonium.
I have to say I’ve pretty much soured on the Greenberg Shows in general. There was a time when I hit the ones in the area on a regular basis, but I’ve skipped them for years now. Not terrible shows; just a little underwhelming.
