The Ford Barn

I went through Hershey Sunday just to have a look and to eat at the Parkside. The old Red field is back to being a parking lot, recontoured a bit but intact and repaved. The smokestacks are gone.

I can't believe they tore down the smokestacks!!! When my boy's were little that was one of the things that they looked for when we got close. Always started a fight about who saw them first!

What are those two tall round objects on the right in your fourth photo?

Yoyodyne · 07-26-2021, 07:16 PM

Scale models of the original stacks. That building is the chocolate world gift shop/entertainment center. It IS nice that they put them up there.

How are the vendors going to get setup in time? It takes several days for everyone to arrive & unload in advance for opening day?

If you were to talk to the gang in gasoline alley, they will tell you that often, they are pretty well sold out by the end of setup day, and ready to pack up a leave on Wed. Set up day is far from "not much going on".

x3 I always buy on tuesday..............

1940 pickup project first time to Hershey for me

Best wishes. I got a fine steering wheel for my 39 truck. Bring $$$, comfortable walking shoes and apparel, back pack/sack for your goodies and have fun. If you can bring a buddy, good company and more eyes looking.

I'm already getting prepared for Hershey. Will be hunting 40 parts. I have my program from 2019 looking where vendors are located.
