It’s nearing summer again, and that means we have a lot of stuff going on. I’m happy to say we have been invited back to the Trolley Museum for the annual car show on June 27th & 28th, setup will be Friday the 26th. The display will be located in the same room as Santa Trolley and I am waiting to find out if we will have more display space than we did at Santa.
What I Need to know from people…
-Who’s planning on coming? (I will have a doodle set up shortly)
-Are you planning on displaying, if so, what are you bringing?
-What kinds of theme areas do we want to have? I’m planning on a town and carnival area already, if you’re partial to space, sea, or something of the sort, speak up.Let me know, I will be updating this shortly with additional info.
May 5, 2015 at 11:51 am #11501David H DonleyParticipantI shall be there Just about the entire time. Baseball will interfere on Saturday for a bit though.
May 5, 2015 at 12:24 pm #11502Benjamin C GoodParticipantI’m all in for Trolley Museum Summer Edition, or as I’m calling it – DonCon 2015
Last year me, Laura, and Josh made up almost the entire display. I don’t know if more people are interested in being involved or not. I’m assuming that we’ll have all day Friday to set up again, last year it was a nice mellow setup. Like last year, I would staff Sunday but not Saturday, unless we end up doing Q2 that Saturday, in which case I’d definitely come to the Trolley Museum first.
I was hoping to bring the full two-table park. At the very least I need one table for the observation platform half, cause it’s DonCon, but I’d really like to bring the whole thing, since it’s probably the last time I’ll be busting it out in 2014, or in its current form.
May 5, 2015 at 5:15 pm #11508Nick ChenParticipantI’ll be there. I can bring the usual Modular Buildings and carousel. I got the mixer built too. I plan on getting the Ferris Wheel if it comes out this month.
May 5, 2015 at 9:56 pm #11509PeteParticipantI will be there also. not sure yet what I am bringing. I will figure something out.
May 5, 2015 at 11:25 pm #11515Matt RedfieldKeymasterI am teh sad, but I’m almost certain I’ll be far, far away during this event. You kids have fun, though!
May 10, 2015 at 7:25 pm #11565PeteParticipantMaybe we can set up the derby track.
May 14, 2015 at 10:46 am #11609LauraParticipantThanks for the responses so far guys, I’m working on a layout plan at the moment but I still have to confirm how much space we have available.
Maybe we can set up the derby track.
That would be cool, I would really like to have an area close to the table with brick kids can build & play with.

May 14, 2015 at 2:38 pm #11612LauraParticipantDoodle for this can be found here.
May 14, 2015 at 9:07 pm #11613Benjamin C GoodParticipantI’m signed up. I’m not sure yet if I’ll be able to come down that Saturday as well, so I left it blank for now.
May 28, 2015 at 3:43 pm #11759Hannah DowParticipantI know I won’t be able to staff this year since I’m in Indiana for the summer but I’d love to help contribute to the display. I can bring stuff to the q2 meeting for it and I’d just get it back at the end of summer, or whenever this display ends. My question is what do you need built or want to borrow sets? For modulars, I have Grand Emporium, Pet Shop, and Palace Cinema but I figure you might already have those coming from Nick. Perhaps since it’s a car show you might be interested in borrowing my VW van and the Mini Cooper since they’re the same scale, I also have this black convertible (set 4896) I could dig out along with the hot rod (set 10151) and the Race Truck as the car (8041). I know these vehicles are totally not minifig scale so they might look awkward. I’m open to building something if that works better. I could build a minifig scale car show with like 8-10 cars depending on space and with minfigs checking them out and whatnot. Yea just let me know 🙂
June 10, 2015 at 10:02 am #11917LauraParticipantAlright, grades are in at school, and things are winding down here, so I have time to make another post here. I was working on a plan for the display, but I’ve been super busy with school stuff and haven’t gotten the chance to finish it. I will be working on the plan today and hopefully have it up by this evening.
The doodle currently has 3 signed up, that would be okay, but it would be great if we had a few more people show up, make sure you sign up if you can make it!
June 10, 2015 at 1:13 pm #11918Nick ChenParticipantI got a new job, not sure about my schedule. Worst case if Tim goes, and I can’t, he can bring them over. I did get the Ferris Wheel.
June 10, 2015 at 1:15 pm #11919testParticipantI can contribute my Fire Brigade if you need it. I also have the VW bus and could build my Mini Cooper and use them like a museum (we did that at Ligonier). Hannah, I don’t want to step on your toes, though.
June 10, 2015 at 1:21 pm #11920Hannah DowParticipant@suezpeace Not to worry! I do think it would be easier if someone who is closer brings the cars. I don’t want to commit to bringing/building anything until Laura has the plan finished so we can figure out what exactly needs done 🙂
June 10, 2015 at 4:05 pm #11921TimModeratorI will be away for work that weekend. I put my name on the Doodle with a 🙁 (like Matt).
June 16, 2015 at 11:52 pm #12007Benjamin C GoodParticipantApparently by “I am working on a plan today and hopefully have it up by this evening” you really meant “maybe I’ll post it a week from now.” 😛
June 18, 2015 at 4:22 pm #12033DanParticipantI can send Monorail again. May be able to attend.
June 19, 2015 at 8:48 am #12055Nick ChenParticipantGood news everyone! I have Saturday off. So I can help staff on Sat. No idea about Sunday though. Laura, setup is Friday morning right? Which works well for me as well. I have work at 1:30 so I can come in the morning and bring my Ferris Wheel, Fairground Mixer and Carousel.
June 23, 2015 at 2:53 pm #12088LauraParticipantSorry for letting this drop off my radar, but we’re still on for this weekend. Friday setup is go for launch, I just need to head to Josh’s house to pick up the tables. I have a plan (that I know no one has seen) hoping to fix that tonight.
I’m in Indiana for the summer but I’d love to help contribute to the display. I can bring stuff to the q2 meeting for it and I’d just get it back at the end of summer, or whenever this display ends.
Sorry I didn’t respond sooner Hannah, I would have loved for you to be able to contribute. I’m sure there will be more opportunities to come! =)
Apparently by “I am working on a plan today and hopefully have it up by this evening” you really meant “maybe I’ll post it a week from now.” 😛
…or 2 weeks >.< Really, by my personal standards that’s not too bad 🙂

That would be awesome Dan, let me know what your final plans are, and sign up on Doodle.

Yep, Friday is setup anywhere from 10am to 5pm, whatever is best for you. I have a plan for the fairground area, so your contribution is greatly appreciated. Please sign up on doodle!

This is another one that I’m not familiar with. Matt would tell me to look it up but that sounds like a lot of effort. Cyclops with a bow in her hair? Bellybutton on an hourglass figure? Target lock on Ant-Man?

LIES LIES LIES!!! Well, I’m showing up with all my stuff regardless, so I’m puttin’ it somewhere. I’m gonna try n get there as close to 10am as possible on Friday so I have plenty of time to set up, although that really probably means I’ll get there at noon.

It’s an emoticon that Wikipedia claims means “Skeptical, annoyed, undecided, uneasy, hesitant”
I always have to do all the work.
June 24, 2015 at 7:08 pm #12117LauraParticipantI consider it my ‘Doh!’ Face
June 26, 2015 at 11:25 am #12180Benjamin C GoodParticipantI’m running behind but I’m on my way, I should be there by 12:30ish @laura
June 26, 2015 at 11:57 am #12182LauraParticipantI should be there by 12:30ish
Alrighty Ben, see you then.
