Model Railroading > Sonora, California, Westside Reunion October 1st coming up!

The annual Westside Runion and Logging Modeler Convention is coming up October 1st in Sonora, California, followed by the Sierra Seminar on October 2nd in Jamestown. Both events are a lot of fun and the Westside Reunion includes clinics, dealer sales, and a model contest. This is the first such event, in person, since covid became part of our lives, so head up there and enjoy the activities in person. It should be a fine time all around.
