We were originally going to have sandwiches and subs in the store during the annual Moncton Model Railroad show on April 3rd.  When we saw the forecast for the weekend we quickly decided that a barbecue would be a much better plan.

We had lots of people in the store through the day.  They’d come in to pick up a few things and chat with Ian and other customers. There were times it was difficult to move around in the store there were so many people shopping, looking for the perfect structure for a particular spot on their layout, or for the freight car of locomotive they really “need”.  It was a great opportunity to meet new customers and to talk to those we hadn’t seen in a long time.

After the shopping and conversation inside the store it was time to go around back to the patio for a hamburger or hot dog and continue the conversation, or start a new one, with old friends they hadn’t seen in a while.  The patio was just as crowded as the store!

We couldn’t have asked for better weather!  Who would have thought that it was only the first part of April!  It felt more like June!

Chef Chuck didn’t put in many hours at the barbecue, but his sous-chef(s) were well trained and had things well in hand.

Thanks to all of you that joined us through the day and helped to make it such a great success!  We really had a great time!
