Our club/volunteer organization has been around since 1999 in the Town of Stratford Boothe Park. NBC 30 Connecticut visited us and did a short segment. We finally got to have a nice review. See ... here
I hope you like it.

Great promo Don you looked great on air!!
Nice segment, and nice to see the hobby promoted in this way. You folks can be proud of your contribution.
Thank you Don and Allan. I got a kick out of my 15 seconds of fame. I thought the station did a great editing job and captured some nice action shots.
Very nice, Don. That was a great promo for the hobby. You and your group have done an excellent job with the layouts.

It was great to see a piece done where the train enthuiasts were not portrayed as being "eccentric".
Very nice feature story.
Nice spot Don. Good to see you in action.
That's great Don, your club looks fantastic too.
Don, That is Great. Thank You.
What Don didn't mention is that, following the TV promotion piece which aired 3 times, we had record-breaking crowds at our Open House event!
People came literally "from miles around" and seemed to enjoy their visit.

I post this here because of the thread title. not trying to hijack the thread.
The Model Railroad museum was featured on a local TV station in June 2013;

I saw that on the 5:30 news on Friday night on Ch. 30. Great story & promo for you guys. As soon as I saw you I recognized you from the forum. Sometime when I'm traveling along 95 I plan on making a stop and checking it all out.

Great piece, Don. I'm sure your club worked diligently to get that tv exposure for our hobby.
If would be great for o gauge if all other local clubs could do likewise. Grassroot, local club exposure is the best way to generate interest in mrr, IMHO, much preferable to depending on the LCCA, TCS, LOTS etc. getting exposure for us. The local club guys in the trenches must take that initiative and thrilled to see your group do exactly that!!!
Again, congrats!!!!
