Thousands of tattoo artists, model train enthusiasts, wine drinkers and pet lovers will all separately converge at the Ontario Convention Center this spring to share their enthusiasm with others at three outstanding events: The Inland Empire Super Show, Rock the Ink Tattoo Show and The Big Train Show.

The Inland Empire Super Show, April 10-11, combines the Home & Pet Show, Successful Aging Expo and Taste of Inland Empire into one great event. Catering to all interests, attendees will find ideas for home and garden projects, pet care items, resources for successful aging, and food and wine samplings from local restaurants. Purchase tickets for this family affair, which start at $7.00 each.

From April 30 through May 2, tattoos, live music and a custom car show highlight the Rock the Ink Tattoo and Entertainment Festival. Some of the world's best tattoo artists will be on hand to design and apply new body art, or veterans can enter their skin to win in daily tattoo contests. Tickets are on sale now and start at $20.

The Big Train Show rolls into town June 3-6, featuring hundreds of operating model railroads, shows on railroad history, a huge Lego display sponsored by the Southern California Lego Association, and a drawing contest for kids. More than 7,000 are expected to attend, so get your tickets early.

"We offer a first-class venue and countless resources that enable us to consistently book entertaining shows that draw people from all over the West," said Ontario Convention and Visitors Bureau CEO and President Bob Brown. "We strive to host the biggest and best shows because we know that with each event, we are helping local businesses and contributing to the City's overall economic success."
