If you only go to one National Garden Railway Convention,
this is the one to attend

The Bay Area Garden Railway Society is the largest in North America 
Its 400+ members are pulling out all the stops to make this a spectacular convention
You will not get to see more than 60 open garden railroads in a week anywhere else 
There is only one Napa Valley Wine Train and one Roaring Camp Railroad 
Celebrate July 4 poolside with adult beverages  
Opportunities to extend your Hyatt stay at a great rate 

And Vendors 

We attracted a record 2,000+ people to the Convention Public Day in 2016 
Many vendors reported record one day sales 
In 2016 we had almost no following on social media:
Now we have 2,500 followers 
Using social media, we aim to break our own public day attendance record this year 

The Bay Area IS the place to be in ‘23
