Default Re: Hershey Stats

I don't lift a finger to make the Hershey show happen, don't participate in the set up or clean up, don't have to do any paperwork or all the other chores associated with a big show. I just show up and walk around.
I also don't have to drag my stuff into a vehicle, unload it, haggle with folks all day, deal with the weather, then load the unsold back into a vehicle, drive home, unload and pay for this privilege. I just get to look at what everyone one else brought to the show and hope to find some treasures.
Sure it could be like the old days with all the stalls filled with great parts, but unlike days of old, I buy parts on-line from the comfort of my home all year long.
Sure I'll half-heartedly complain about golf carts, empty spaces and such, but every year attending Hershey is a highlight and I wouldn't miss it for anything. Even with all the changes, it's a wonderful thing.
