About Us
Probably
more than you really wanted to know!
"TTS of Green Bay, LLC" was formed to give model railroad enthusiasts of Wisconsin and Michigan's Upper Peninsula
(approximately the extents of the
Winnebagoland Division of the NMRA) a premier train show of their own. Our annual event caters to the entire spectrum of model railroading, from beginners to MMR's. Unlike other hobbies, people of all ages, interests, budgets, and skill levels can have satisfaction and enjoyment working together to create their own little world.
This is truly the World's Greatest Hobby! Our show is intended to not only target the die-hard modelers, but also to introduce the world of model railroading to the general public, particularly
the "future generations" that are so critical to our hobby's continued
viability.
The directors of TTS are long-time model railroaders (or spouse) who were tired
of traveling to other train shows only to hear “why doesn't Green Bay have a
show?” Because of our love for the hobby, the camaraderie of its
community, and the appreciation of good modeling, it was natural for us to
attempt to put on a high-quality show. Aborted fits and starts over
preceding years by other parties, however, showed that successful exhibitions
like this are not a foregone conclusion.
Todd Bushmaker, Paul Pasowicz, and Dan Dyer founded the TTS group in 2001 for
the express purpose of putting this show together. With the initial help of
pro-fessional trade show and venue managers Promotion Management Inc., the group foisted Titletown Train Show
upon the world (or at least NE Wisconsin).
April 2002 had our first show in the Brown County Arena, and it exceeded
everyone's expectations. The facility people saw that the adjacent Shopko
Hall would be better suited to our event, so they arranged for us to hold our
2003 show in there, and we've been there ever since.
Unfortunately, in 2005 Dan relocated to Milwaukee and had to leave TTS. Carol Foreen and Larry Nast were brought on board to
fill in and continue the task of promoting this great show.
In addition to these four current directors, we have a horde of dedicated
(insane?) volunteers
that take time out of their own busy schedules to help us put on this endeavor.
Thanks to their efforts, TTS is now the third largest train show in Wisconsin,
behind only stalwart Mad City
and the "grand poobah," Trainfest!
