Greenberg show at Monroeville cancelled

The Greenberg Train Show in Monroeville this weekend was cancelled:

“TRAIN SHOW UPDATE

This morning the state of Pennsylvania rescinded our permission to run the Greenberg Train Show scheduled for July 25 - 26, 2020 at the Monroeville Convention Center. Therefore we have no choice but to cancel the show. Based on the new situation we are reevaluating the shows currently scheduled for the end of August in Oaks, PA and Edison, NJ. Please check back with this website for the latest news.

Customers who purchased tickets will have those tickets refunded to their credit card and they do not have to take any action. Exhibitors who prepaid for the show will receive a refund to the form of payment they used.

We have worked hard trying to make train shows happen over the summer. While we did not think the shows would be profitable, we knew many exhibitors depend on shows to feed their families. We are aware that many hobbyists really need a distraction in these difficult times. This is a very sad end to the 2 man months of work and the thousands of dollars we have already spent on advertising and promotion of the Monroeville summer show.

We sincerely appreciate all the past support we have received and we are continuing to evaluate to see if there is any safe and legal way for us to provide train shows this summer. We wish everyone a safe and happy summer.“

As much as I want to see some normalcy return to our society (in more ways than one), I think that, in light of the way things seem to be going, I would not plan on hosting or attending any major public events through the end of this year. Support your hobby retailers as best you can via online, phone, and mail orders, and by all means spend as much of this "down time" as you possibly can just striving to maintain your own physical, mental, and emotional health.

Use your hobby to best advantage at this time by letting yourself become immersed, when possible, in building your layout, creating new sections or features, or simply operating trains--losing yourself, even if only temporarily, in your miniature world that is free of stress, worry, and anxiety. You already are involved in what is the most creative and diverse of all hobbies, so exploit the opportunities that exist in the safety and comfort of your own home, and which hopefully can be shared with those you care about.
