Fun in Frankenmuth

Consider the following scenario: You are a prepubescent kid about to finish the 8th grade, and in the fall you will be starting high school.  Now fast-forward eight years, and you have completed both high school and four years of college and have graduated with a bachelor’s degree.  You are about to start your career and begin your life as an adult on your own.  Amazing how far you have come in eight years.
 
Eight years is also how long we have been displaying our layout in Frankenmuth.
 
To be precise, eight years will happen this JUNE 7-10 when we make our eighth appearance at Frankenmuth’s Bavarian Festival.  We will be exhibiting at Fischer Hall as usual, with the following schedule:
 
Set-up: Thursday, June 7, 12:00 - 18:00
OPEN TO THE PUBLIC: Friday, June 8, 10:00 – 18:00
OPEN TO THE PUBLIC: Saturday, June 9, 10:00 – 18:00
OPEN TO THE PUBLIC: Sunday, June 10,  10:00 – 14:00

Tear-down: Sunday, June 10, 14:00 - 18:00

 
We look forward to seeing you there!

MEMBERS: With the layout at Frankenmuth identical to the layout at NTS we will be spending part of the exhibit making sure all modules are up to snuff and functioning properly.  Feel free to bring any scenicking materials or other accessories to help us spruce up the layout.  Of special interest would be Preiserlings, vehicles, and other detail pieces that add ‘life’ to the layout.

Hi Dan, the blog post above is from 2018 (note the date). We are not exhibiting at the Bavarian Festival this year, but plan to display the layout at Oktoberfest in September and Bavarian Festival next year.
