I have found the flyer and here are the hours (the Time is eastern US time) : 10:00am to 4:00pm and admission is 5 USd and active military, police officers, Firefighters, and Childeren under 16 are in for free. The flyer also says that there will be a Train Drag race for 3-rail O-gauge locomotives and it begins at 10:30.

we have a railfaire every year in november at the fairgrounds in the town where i live. i don't know how many square feet is involved but i suppose there's a website where you can find out how many vendors and modular layouts set up. i can tell you it takes over every available exibition space in the fair grounds where its held. then again its not a real big fair grounds, but there are at least five pretty good sized building involved.

its called international railfaire, although the only thing 'international' about it is one european train enthusiest club, in combination with the local division of the nmra and three or four other local railraod and model railroad societies puts it on. some of the vendors do have some none north american models and even a few specialize in them. the overwhelming majority don't however.
