This years National Narrow Gauge Convention will be held September 3-6 in beautiful Kansas City. Hotels within walking distance of the convention, and free parking. We are looking for volunteers to help with the convention. Please see the note below regarding volunteering, and let me know if you have any questions.

34th NNGC Volunteer Sign Up List

The convention staff would like to invite volunteers to participate in creating a helpful and enjoyable experience for all the attendees and their families. To do this we will need friendly people to assist in many aspects of the convention. If you are interested in doing so, please fill out the information requested below, and we will get in
touch with you when we have the tasks all worked out to request your help in filling them. Some of the work is as simple as helping direct lost conventioneers to the correct clinic room, a few will need to direct vendors and exhibitors to proper unloading sites and pathways to the correct room, and some to help keep the contest and vendor rooms off-limits to the uninvited. Further information will be provided as plans evolve.

I've invited you to fill out the form 34th NNGC Volunteer Sign Up List.

Went to the NNGC in Detroit in 2005 and it was probably the best train show I had ever seen . Sadly , it's probably the first and last one I'll be going to .
