Thank You for Coming to our Show!
Coming to the Show
Location As of 2023 the new home for our Show & Sale is Heritage Presbyterian Church in Mason, Ohio. There is ample free parking, and the building is handicapped accessible. From the parking lot, follow the signs to enter through the double glass doors in the courtyard. You will find our Registration table a short distance down the hall. Miniature exhibits can be viewed in nearby classrooms, and the salesroom is the gymnasium.
Hours Our two-day Show hours are 4 to 7 pm Friday and 10 am to 4 pm Saturday. Pay admission only once and wear your wristband to shop both days.
Museum Quality Exhibits Be sure to check out our members’ beautifully crafted miniatures in the adjoining classrooms. With our “Magical Gardens” theme this year, we’ll be showcasing miniature gardens from realistic to fantasy, along with other creations!
Cost Admission to our sales area is $5 per adult and $3 for each child from 4 to 12 years of age (children under 4 are free, but please do NOT bring strollers or backpacks into the salesroom). Note that we accept CASH ONLY; we cannot process credit or debit cards for Show admission. Pay one admission per person, keep your wristband on, and come back to shop the second day FREE. Just show your wristband at the Registration table.
Just for Kids We have a sales table Just for Kids (12 years of age and younger), where all items are priced under $6, and they may receive a free door prize selected especially for them.
All-Day Door Prizes We announce Door Prize winners periodically all day long. Drop your door prize ticket in the chimney of the “house” near the Door Prize table. Put your tickets in early, as you MUST be present to win.
Free Magazines An entire table will be stacked with gently used magazines about miniatures. Feel free to peruse and take some home!
Information Table Stop by the Information table to pick up flyers about our club, miniature scales, museums, and other miniature shows. And, in case you might be interested, we welcome new members to join our club. Membership is open to those age 16 and over. Please see more on our Membership and Guests page.

A Little History
Our 45th Annual Show & Sale… Forty-five years is a long run. What an adventure! In the early days our shows were held downtown at the Cincinnati Convention Center. MSC members who were around at the time tell wonderful stories. Apparently, the 70’s and 80’s were the heyday of our hobby. Our club had around 150 members and Show attendance used to be over 1500 people!
