Hershey rules
 

I am going to Hershey for the first time but since I am 81 years old I have been forced into using an electric motor scooter. Does Hershey have some rules governing the use of these at the meet. Some have said that I need a handicapped form of some sort ar register the scooter. Does anyone know? Jack

Re: Hershey rules
 

You have to show a handicap card for your car. They will give you a tag to put on your scooter. They issue them up near the stadium.

You may need to add a soda can on a string, to drag on the ground. This way everyone should hear you coming, and hopefully clear a path for you to drive. This is what I witnessed everytime I've been to Hershey. Have a good time. :) Jeff

Thanks Jeff. I am thinking of adding an aooga horn to my scooter. I want to walk around not be confined to this contraption. Jack

Re: Hershey rules
 

Are scooters for rent at Hershey?

Re: Hershey rules
 

YES BUT it would be wise to reserve one in advance. When I went two years ago I started to walk and knew that wasn't going to work. Went back and the girl said I got the LAST one ! ! ! ! Well worth the exorbitant amount they charged.

As an old dude still able to walk, although not like the old days, I STRONGLY suggest the can on a string so I hear you coming. Been blind-sided more than once by a "silent menace" and the can does work. Enjoy!

P. S. Hope I can make a day or two this year.

Yes Paul and I rember chewing on a turkey drum stick while sitting on your cart. Can't beat that! That was a good time and great to see you.Seems like yesterday.

I still enjoy walking around looking at as much rust as I can see, while I can What I have done to keep the traffic moving along is to play the prerecord can on a string noise from my iPhone :). The people part like I was Noah parting the Red Sea. Just having Fun.
I just hope for good weather!!


How many people here remember the Hershey mud ?

You're right I wasn't very religious guy

Re: Hershey rules
 

With an aooga horn you'll probably offend a lot of people. That's why it was suggested to uses a tin can or aluminum can tied to your scooter dragging on the payment so people can hear you coming. You'll make a lot more mileage this way.

Re: Hershey rules
 

A string of jingle bells would work.
I remember when some kids would put one in the shoe string of each shoe.

When I met my future wife during the summer of Woodstock she was wearing an ankle bracelet with bells, and moccassins ;):):):):D

Re: Hershey rules
 

Kids put playing cards on their bike wheels, maybe something like that would work? The faster you move the more rhythmic noise! Please forgive me/us if we don't hear you and don't get out of your way. Just had a brain fart, how about a spring dragging on the ground or on a tire/ wheel?

Can anyone else come up with a better solution?

Re: Hershey rules
 

A tin can or two has been used for years and has had great results:D

Re: Hershey rules
 

I think an Ahooga horn might get you a sore nose. :)

Re: Hershey rules
 

SO will the tin can!

Re: Hershey rules
 

It's a better idea than a Wolf Whistle...

5 or more years ago I read the rules bored waiting for the rain to stop, if you rented from them it includes insurance, if you brought your own you needed proofs of insurance for some high amount--- what it is now I don't know
