There is a train show on August 28th at Renninger's Market at 740 Noble St, Kutztown, PA. It runs from 8am to 2 pm. They have over 300 tables under two pavilions and other general merchandise in the main building.

Thank you for posting this. Maybe I can work this in.
Went to last one with CNJ BILL and we had a great time. Going again this Saturday.
Lots of HO-O-N-LGB trains and some neat RRianna. Picked up (and paid for) a Dressel switch lamp for less than $100.
CNJ BILL has a table and is selling part of a family train collection including MTH cars/buildings and at least 2 of the Lionel 6-32930 ZW type power supply with 180w bricks. Located first row/left side in first building after entry gate.

Is there information online about this show and what is the entry charge - assuming there is one?

Entry is free. More information can be found below.
I will have some tables there as well (sorry if this post comes off as a shameless plug now). I will be in the first row as well, almost directly in line with the road that leads from the main road (Noble St. I think) to the parking lot and pavilions (145 and 147). I will be selling a lot of stuff from my collection, as I am downsizing (and buying a few higher end items). Feel free to stop by and say hello!
Thanks for the info. I haven't been up to Kutztown area in a while.
It is worth a visit, if you haven’t been there yet. It is 2 hours from me, so not sure I will go Saturday. I was at the last one, and will likely hit the fall show.
Hmm. A rare occasion where both my girlfriend and my daughter will be away. 2 hours away from me, but I might just go. Jonesing to go to a show as it's been eons for me.
Well, things being as they are, I was unable to make the show. Any reports how it was? I was really looking forward to going to my first show in several years.
It was overcast, and relatively cool considering the summer we've had so far. I noticed more HO stuff this time. Our group of 4 got there just after the 8 AM opening, and spent about 2 hours. There were several empty tables in the morning, but some were filling as time went on. I got 2 Weaver rib side 2 bay hoppers, and 2 K Line die cast LV 2 bay hoppers. I look forward to these shows, and there is another in September.
I thought it was great. Plenty of room between tables and plenty of postwar stuff. I went just looking for smoke pellets and came back with a 2037. I did go the campus just to see if there were any changes (I’m a KU grad) and got caught in the student drop off line as it was moving in day, my only complaint but nothing to do with the show.
The next train show is October 16th, the Saturday before York. No train shows in September.
Went to this show as I missed the last 4 shows there. Well worth the 2 hour drive. Lot of postwar, HO, American Flyer with some modern stuff mixed in.
Bought a boxed postwar O gauge O22 switches with paper and inner box with lanterns, bulbs and controllers for $25.
Did see a few folks I knew. Might go to the next one there as it is a week before York.
@CNJBill at the Renninger's meet I saw a flyer for the PA Dutch Train Meet which is going to be in Hamburg PA on September 12th I believe
If allowed, pictures would be nice.
Sorry, I didn't get to take any pictures as I was swamped! From about 6:30 on, I had people constantly at my table. My tables were too full to unload everything at first, so people were even going through my trailer. At one point I was helping two customers, my helpers were each with a customer, and even the nice lady at the next table was taking money from a customer for me! It was a successful day with only a little drizzle for me (I guess people really like $5-$10 freight cars).
