Welcome to Bellevue, OH!

September 30, October 1, 2 and 3 of 2010 are approaching and that means time to prepare for the 2010 NKPHTS convention in Bellevue, Ohio!

This year promises to be four days of events for everyone with some very special Ladies Events as well. Plans are for an all-inclusive registration with some meals served first-class style in the dining car, to a guided night photo session with period-dressed actors for real-life NKP scenes, a pizza/pasta buffet and hospitality party. Be sure to make this one, there may be some surprises you aren't expecting, plus Doyle McCormack will be the featured speaker to give us the latest on project NKP 190. Make your plans now. Further information will be available at the NKPHTS website or Mad River's website at www.madrivermuseum.org very soon.

For your convenience here are several hotels in the area close to the museum convention site. Mention that you are attending the NKPHTS convention at the Mad River Railroad Museum to get the rates we have arranged.
