Granite City Train Show Returns Saturday

The Granite City Train Show returns to the Rivers Edge Convention Center Saturday from 9am-3pm.  The show did not happen in 2020 due to the pandemic but returns with just one minor adjustment.  Dr. Edward Olson is the organizer of the event.  He says concessions will not be available at this year's event due to Rivers Edge Convention Center requirements but Olson says those attending are welcome to bring their own food.  He also says people can get their hand stamped and eat lunch downtown and return to the show.
