HOOKSETT – The Hooksett Lions Club is planning its 28th Annual Model Railroad and Modelers Show, to be held on Sunday, April 27.
As in the past, modeler clubs and all train and modeler enthusiasts of all ages and skill levels, are welcome. The show will again be held at the David R. Cawley Middle School, located on NH Route 27 (89 Whitehall Road), Hooksett.
The Lions have made this a spring tradition, bringing together some of the best model train clubs from across New England, providing a place to display (and play) their miniature displays of model trains in various scales from the large G down to the miniature N. Some of the newest electronic controlled devices will also be in operation. Vendors will be selling their trains and accessories, both new and used.
There will be the Dining Car with great food, serving lunch and snacks. As in the past, there will also be a raffle with many items, along with a cash prize.
The Lions Club show has been successful for many years and has become one of the most popular shows north of Boston. All proceeds from the show will help the Lions to provide community services with those less fortunate.
The doors open at 10 a.m. and the show runs until 3 p.m. Admission is $7 for adults, $1 for children 6-12, and free for children 5 and younger. Maximum family rate is $15.
In a longtime Lions tradition, there will be a collection box for old reusable eyeglasses. For more information about the show, or about becoming a Lion, check Hooksett Lions Club on Facebook, or call 603-627-4662, or 603-485-3881.
