Seeking Plane, Train, and Automobile Model Vendors & Exhibitors

St. John Lutheran Church in Darien is looking for vendors and exhibitors for their annual Mega Model Show & Swap Meet in January.

St. John Lutheran Church at 7214 South Cass Avenue in Darien, IL will host an extensive Model Show and Swap Meet on Saturday, January 18, 2020 from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and is currently seeking vendors and exhibitors who may wish to participate. Based on past experience, our show is guaranteed to provide you with a highly publicized and well-attended event at which to sell or exhibit your models.

This is not a plastic model contest. There will be at least two operating model railroad layouts and 70 vendor tables available for selling plastic model kits, diecast, and model railroad-related items on two levels of a building that is fully handicap accessible with an elevator and is adjacent to a large parking lot. The family-friendly event will also offer food and raffle prizes.

The rental of a St. John table will be $20 for an 8-foot display or one can bring their own table(s) for $10 per 8 foot length selling space. Vendors may set up Friday, January 17 from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. and Saturday, January 18 from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. Proceeds will benefit the St. John Lutheran Church Youth Mission Trip/Outing/Conference Fund and the St. John Facilities Improvement and Maintenance Fund.
