don't know exactly what forum this should go in, but since it has to do with 2 rail models, here goes.
Making plans now, hotels reserved, will check in Friday night. I went in 2022 and almost within walking distance of the hotel was pub and restaurant, good beers, great food. I don't remember the name and can't seem to find it on the web. Any help from the local people to the area?
Also, who's going? 2022 had at least a couple dozen forum members in attendance. Just Curious

There's a Haray Caray's bar and restaurant in the lobby. That's stumbling distance. I don't think I'm going this year. That hotel rate for the March Meet is great though.
Where and when is this meet?
Go to marchmeet.net for information.
March 20,21,22,23
I'll be there. I'll have a few surplus items on a table.
Best show of the year for a 2 rail guy. Worth the drive from NJ.
It's a great show. I'm a 3 railer. I went in 2023 and I loved it. I'd recommend anyone who enjoys scale models attend the March Meet. I even got a great deal on some Woodland Scenics buildings. The Westin Chicago Lombard is a nice suburban hotel with ample free parking. It's surrounded by restaurants and bars. I'm beginning to rethink my decision this year...
the greatest show on earth ----for 0 see you there
I will be there with a crew from Michigan. Best show of the year for 2 railers and lots of stuff for 3 railers. The Illinois Railroad Museum is fantastic as is Ted's layout open house.

I will be finalizing my plans to attend next week.
I sent my check in for one table, and admission. Am looking forward to this years show, as usual. See you guys there! Only two months away now!!!!
I've gone several years in a row and look forward to it. I check in on Wednesday night and on Thursday spend a good part at Des Plaines Hobbies.
