Hershey 2021
Called AACA in Hershey with a question this week. After I got my answer, I asked if the Hershey Fall meet was a go this year. The staff’s answer was a definite yes, and the land owner, The Hershey Park Corporation has numerous other event s scheduled for this year. There is one more meeting to finalize the decision, but it is only a formality. See you there.

Re: Hershey 2021
I gotta say I'll be happy to hear the Italian and Spanish and Russian and French that I can eavesdrop on as I wear out my hips with five seasons of clothes at easy reach! And a tasty apple!
One of my favorite things to do is to get up before dawn Saturday and put myself at the entrance to the show field. Listen and smell the entrants as they file in. The car corral is so fun! Another fave is to be there as soon as the vendors set up. Gravy time.

Re: Hershey 2021
With twins and a new house I will have to be a bit more cautious with my buying, but I absolutely CAN'T WAIT!! I've been to every Hershey since the 1 before I was born.

Re: Hershey 2021
60th here. Through most of the 1960's, go through the flea market on Saturday morning, then look at the cars in the afternoon. Almost all cars were pre-1931.

Re: Hershey 2021
Jon,
The oldest on the stadium field and the youngsters on the long gone adjacent practice field. Then there was the seemingly perpetual mud in the blue (?) field down by the long gone nursery. |

Re: Hershey 2021
This will be number 38. More than half my life. Yes the rains, the mud, the gravel trucks and the tractors. What memories. I started thanks to a wonderful man named Nacewicz at spaces along the last row of the old red field (what David refers to--the nursery). Then there was the white and then the chocolate fields. The wet shoes walking through the damp grass has been replaced by the hard asphalt, and better drainage.
And it is still free to enter and walk around (parking, spaces, motels, food, purchases and toilets excluded). And...........those announcements: "Attention on the swap meet fields............" See ya there! |

Re: Hershey 2021
Bruce,
Speaking of the announcements, there's that the unique eastern Pennsylvania pronunciation of "vehicles". |

Re: Hershey 2021
Dave;
I often wondered if they were recorded messages as they really never change. ".........your vehicle must be moved immediately or it will be towed!" |

Re: Hershey 2021
Right you are David. We can't wait until the PA announcer needs a car moved and call's it a "vee-hick-el. I don't know who he is, but it sounds like the same guy, year after year.

Re: Hershey 2021
Same guy, judging from the voice, as far back as I can remember. And it isn't a recording as he cites the license plate number of the offending "vee-hick-el" each time.

Re: Hershey 2021
Haha. Yes, my buddy and I also mention this guy when we hear his announcements. I wonder who he is? He's like Oz behind the curtain.

Re: Hershey 2021
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".

Re: Hershey 2021
A lot goes down quickly and quietly on set up day.
