Get on Board for Train Spotting!
Trains on Main Scavenger Hunt Trains on Main is a permanent, 24/7 outdoor scavenger hunt through downtown Madison created by the Madison Chamber of Commerce in conjunction with the City of Madison and the Huntsville-Madison County Convention & Visitors Bureau. Participants hunt for eight bronze trains by utilizing clue cards, available from the Madison Chamber and City Hall. Once train spotters find all eight trains, they bring their completed clue cards to the Madison Chamber to collect a prize.
The clues, provided by the Madison Station Historical Preservation Society, educate and inform participants about the colorful history of Historic Downtown Madison as they search for the trains. Families from all over the country have dropped by the Chamber to pick up their prizes and share their experiences.
Come join the Hunt! Stop by the Madison Chamber or City Hall to pick up a clue card or download one from madisonalchamber.com/trainson-main.
Learn about our Local Community and Businesses!
Business Expo and Kids’ Day An annual event for over 25 years, Business Expo and Kids’ Day is one of the most anticipated gatherings of the year. It is a free, funfilled day for families and a great way to see what our community has to offer.
Over 60 local for-profit and non profit businesses gather to showcase their products and services to the Madison community. Participants visit vendor booths and learn more about each organization’s specialty, then grab a bite at one of our local food trucks. The theme for 2019 was Madison Depot 1869 in honor of our city’s 150th birthday. Kids enjoyed games and activities, including a dunk tank, face painting, balloon animals, an inflatable, and more. We even re-enacted our city’s century old Chicken Capers event, tossing dozens of rubber chickens with gift cards to the waiting crowd.
Business Expo and Kids Day epitomizes our community spirit and gives us all a chance to applaud the City of Madison and each other in day of fun and excitement.
