Event info from organizer:

Sunday January 27, 2013 will mark the 27th annual St. Robert Bellarmine Men’s Club Ole Toy and Train Show which helps St. Robert’s school children sports and school programs. As in the past you will be able to have your trains tested by the Lincoln Park Train Club and see four trains in operation on the same layout. The show also features fantastic operating layouts by the Glancy Trains Modular Club, the Michigan LEGO Train Club, Bob Pardington , the FORD Group, and others. Additionally, Ed’s Toy Train Parts is coming from Ohio and will be bringing his huge inventory of parts. This Show funds St. Robert’s school children sports activities programs and gets everyone ready for the 2013 Train Season. You can also find out what Dad’s or Grand Dad’s trains are worth. Good Family FUN! Check out a clip of last year’s Show at http://youtu.be/Mgtde1jWxpg

This year’s show runs from to 11:00 to 3:30 PM. There will be train collectors from four states with train and toy items to buy and swap plus over 200 dealer tables. There will be door prizes given away every hour. Also, a new Lionel train set will be raffled off at the end of the Show, with tickets available for $1 each or 6 for $5. For everyone’s convenience the kitchen will be selling food and beverages (including pulled pork sandwiches).
