VFW vendor sale a great side trip at the Railsplitter Festival

[September 01, 2026]  Saturday morning the Cronin Brothers VFW Freedom Hall was abuzz with shoppers visiting the annual vendor sale held in conjunction with the annual National Railsplitting Festival in Lincoln.

This year there were some new vendors and some that we have seen in the past were absent. This may have been due to the change in date for the festival and subsequent vendor sale, but it had little impact on the turnout as the shoppers enjoyed each booth they stopped at throughout the morning.

Outside the VFW, the Marine Corps League was hosting its annual fresh grilled sandwich sale, and there were other vendors along the sidewalk as well.

In summary it was a fun accent to the day, just as it always seems to be.
