With the free or paid admission you will get access to the Swap Meet that starts at 7:00 am, admission to the clinics, contest tables, modular layouts and one card of 25 Hobo Auction Tickets (auction tickets alone are a $5 value). For an additional $10 you can get morning coffee and donut, a box lunch, and afternoon refreshments. You can also purchase additional auction tickets at one card (25 tickets) for $5, three cards (75 tickets) for $10 and 7 cards (175 tickets) for $20. There are going to be over one hundred items in the auction and even if your number is not drawn everyone will go home with some prize. To be sure we have a lunch for you have we asked that you sign up by emailing Mike Allee at <!-- e --><a href="mailto:rmallee@me.com">rmallee@me.com</a><!-- e --> and include in the subject line SpringRail lunch signup.
