LYNCHBURG RAILROAD DAY 41st ANNUAL TRAIN SHOW
BLUE RIDGE CHAPTER, NRHS 61st ANNIVERSARY
The Blue Ridge Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society would like to invite you to join us for the 41st Annual Lynchburg Railroad Day to be held on Saturday August 10, 2019 from 9:00 am – 3:00 pm. This model train show is always well attended by veteran modelers as well as newcomers to our hobby. It definitely has a family atmosphere. Children 12 and under are always admitted at no charge when accompanied by a paying adult. Vendors are encouraged to bring items that appeal to children. Many small children attend our show with their parents. Last year’s attendance was approximately 500 adults and children. We have numerous door prizes. Our very popular “White Elephant Table”, where our Chapter sells individual’s train related items on a consignment basis, always attracts sellers and buyers to our show. Model layouts with operating trains are a real treat for everyone young and old. The Lynchburg Railroad Day 2019 facility is air conditioned and has wide isles for easy access during the train show. Our Chapter also operates a concession stand with freshly prepared lunch items and snacks at very affordable prices. As in years past, the train show will be held at the Boonsboro Ruritan Club on 1065 Coffee Road {Virginia State Route 644} just off of Rt. 501 North in Lynchburg, Virginia 24503.
NOTE: USING GPS NAVIGATION TO FIND THIS ADDRESS! SOME INTERNET MAP SEARCHES SHOW THAT WIGGINGTON RD. RUNS INTO RT. 501. THIS IS INCORRECT. COFFEE RD. RUNS INTO RT. 501. Our Blue Ridge Chapter website will have a correct map showing you how to get there from all directions. Log on www.blueridgenrhs.org for the correct directions and Lynchburg Railroad Day 2019 updates. There will be an ample amount of signs directing vendors and the public to the Boonsboro Ruritan Club on the day of the show. Plenty of free parking is available in our expanded parking area. Vendors can easily unload their goods next to the building. The building is handicapped accessible.
Vendor Registration:
8 ft. tables only rented! 8ft. tables are $33.00 each with no charge for two attendees per table! No increase in our table price! The postmark date on your letter that you send your registration payment in will determine who gets the available 8ft. tables. We expect increased attendance this year due to the rekindled interest in local model train shows. Table space will be limited. We have sold all available table space each year at this train show since we took over Lynchburg Railroad Day. Reserved table space must be paid for in full no later than Wednesday, July 10, 2019. Tables not completely paid for by this date will be made available to other vendors. No refunds for tables will be given on or after July 10, 2019. Prior to July 10, 2019 table rental refunds will be given for personal hardships.
Vendor Set Up:
The Boonsboro Ruritan Club will be open for vendor set up on Friday, August 9, 2019 from 3:00 pm – 7:00 pm and on Saturday, August 10, 2019 from 7:30 am – 8:30 am. On the morning of our train show if you are a “No Show” by 9:30 am and don’t let one of our LRD 2019 train show co-coordinators know that you’re going to be late we reserve the right to resell your table without offering you a refund. We would like to have all vendors have their table setup finished by 8:30 am the day of the show. This will allow the public to have free movement through the aisles when the show begins. We ask that no vendor sales transactions occur until after 9:00 am on the day of the show. Vendors will be asked to park in specially designated areas to allow for customer parking in front of the building. We also request that no one begins breaking down your sales table until 3:00 pm the day of the show. Note that our 2019 train show ends at 3:00 pm and door admission will be charged till the close of the show at 3:00 pm.
