Trainfest 2011 broke the all-time event attendance record with a total attendance of 23,764. Record setting attendance on both Sunday and during the pre-show Friday Product Showcase contributed to the overall record setting event attendance number. Sunday attendance broke the all-time high for Sunday attendance with 11,352 attendees. The fourth annual Friday Product Showcase preview show event had a record 210 attendees, in addition to the 47 hobby dealers and 14 historical groups who also attended.
Trainfest celebrated its 40th anniversary with train set giveaways on both Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday, six winners of the new Station Stop game went home with a new train set. Then on Sunday, four lucky families received a new train set as they entered Trainfest in the sponsored “random acts of kindness” program.
Trainfest "America's largest operating model railroad show" was held on November 12-13, 2011, at the Wisconsin State Fair Park in West Allis, Wis. For more information on Trainfest, visit www.trainfest.com.
