Hoboken Festival?

Does anyone know if there will be a Hoboken train festival this Autumn?
The last one I recall was in 2002.
As we all know, there wasn't one in 2003.

CNJFAN,

Sorry there won't be one! And as far as I know there won't be any until 2007 when Hoboken celebrates its Cenntenial....The only chance you will see a Hoboken Festival in 2005 is if Warrington resigns or is asked to leave......

Unfortunately sad but true. But if the 2007 festival does happen, I'll be there for sure.

Thanks Guys,
At least we have the CNJ Festival to look forward to.
And the steam trips at Westfield too.

Steam trips at Westfield?
Sorry—I've been away. Did I miss something?
STEAM? WESTFIELD?

Yup, instead of Dunellen RR Days this year, we's got Westfield RR Days.

Westfield Railroad Days: Oct 2 & 3

I think taking a break for a couple years will actually help rejuvinate it. The festival had become routine, and long since stopped being a "must-see" event, as visitors, vendors and exhibitor simply felt if they couldn't go one year, they could go the following year. Plus, for the most part, it had become the same thing every year. How many times can you walk through an Amtrak train and still be interested?

The build-up to a big one in 2007 will help renew interest, and maybe bring in a number of new attractions.

Well, for me who's never been to one, it should make for a most memorable day.
