Welcome to the page for our annual Holiday Railfair Event!

Railfair is what we call the event that we host where we share our passion for trains and model railroading with the public.

We host a 2 day show on the second weekend in December and display and operate model train layouts for the public to view and enjoy.

This event is completely FREE, and is our gift to the community during the Holiday Season.

Countdown to Railfair 2025!
