This year marks a special milestone — 10 years with one of our very first vendors, whose journey is as meaningful as it is inspiring.

What began as a passionate hobby has grown into a thriving retirement business, created not just to earn, but to stay active, curious, and connected. Turning personal interests into something that brings joy to others is no small feat — and it’s exactly the kind of story that defines the heart of our vendor community.

Today, Greg proudly operates two distinct businesses, each reflecting years of knowledge, care, and enthusiasm:

Shoebox Trains

trains, tracks & accessories

A haven for collectors and enthusiasts alike, Shoebox Trains celebrates the nostalgia and craftsmanship of model trains, offering pieces that spark memories and ignite imaginations.

Greg’s Antiques and Collectables

buy • sell • trade

With an eye for history and timeless charm, Greg’s Antiques and Collectables brings thoughtfully curated finds that tell stories from another era — each piece selected with intrigueing interest, to discover its history and share it.

As one of our first-ever vendors, this long-standing presence has helped shape the market into what it is today. Their dedication, consistency, and love for what they do remind us that small beginnings — fueled by passion — can turn into something lasting and meaningful.

Here’s to 10 years, two businesses, and a retirement built not on slowing down, but on doing what you love.
