The Grand Canyon Special 2023 Convention will offer three simultaneous clinics throughout the day on Thursday and Friday. They will be located in the conference rooms just off the lobby of the Drury Hotel. Two of the Clinics will be dedicated to topics on model railroading. One clinic will be dedicated to the Northern Arizona area and be of interest to both modelers and anyone visiting the area.
