We see the same thing - decreasing attendance - with the national conventions. There are soooooo many scale specific, region specific, and/or gauge specific conventions and train shows that the national shows are diluted. Along that line, attendence at "local shows" is falling to the point that some are being cancelled in Train Country USA, Lancaster, Chester, Berks Counties PA. Gilbertsville Show, in nearby Montgomery County PA is now reduced to three a yr, down from four for as long as the show has been there, I think. The "Mary" show, also in Gilbertsville, perished shortly after Mary's passing. Many of the shows are now a cheap mornings entertainment, not much else, even tho some were "giving away" LIONEL and other brands on Sunday in Gilbertsville. Maybe their gas is free.
