🐘White Elephant Registration

Do you have one or two items (Items must fit the scope of the Expo) you would like to sell but can't justify signing up to be a vendor with a whole table? Well, if you fall into this category we have you covered! The show will feature a "White Elephant Table" sponsored and run by 4 Track RR so there's nothing for you to tend to. To have your items placed on the White Elephant table will only cost you 15% of the sale price that you set. The best part of this deal is you owe nothing if your item doesn't sell. Full details can be found at the registration link below.

Test your skills and see if you can successfully navigate the  tracks to get your cars to their destinations! See how this little switching puzzle made a BIG impact last year by reading the following article HERE

🚂Kids' Pedal Car Track

Love On Rails will be onsite at the expo with their kids pedal car track. It's a fun/engaging activity that will keep the little ones entertained and hopefully run off some of that excess energy! Please note there is an additional charge for this activity and although the dog is probably loving the ride you'll have to leave your pets at home for the Expo lol.

🍽️Food and Refreshments

Don't worry about going hungry at the Expo! You'll be able to enjoy a variety of delicious food options available on-site to keep you energized throughout the event! Details on the menu coming soon!
