Re: Hershey stickers here!
Hello Bill, I am new to the site and was wondering if you could tell me a little on Hershey. When, how long, will it even be possible to get a room fairly close to the event, food, and when is it, how long does it last.
Thanks |

Re: Hershey stickers here!
I extend the invitation to HAMB and Ford Barn members to store parts at my swap meet spaces for the day. I'm right at the end of Main Street in the Chocolate Field C4J-41-42, Brookville is just behind me and the food vendor is across on the other corner. Daytime is for shopping NOT hauling parts back to your car only to see something you needed walk past you on your way back in. Bob

Re: Hershey stickers here!
It's only about 15 minutes away but you can get pretty good room rates in Harrisburg. It's also close to the airport. Three cheers for Hershey!

Re: Hershey stickers here!
Coming from the UK for our first Hershey,staying at Harrisburg. Can carts to drag parts around be rented, or should I borrow a Radio Flyer or some such? Really looking forward to it. Will be staying near Chicago and doing a road trip to include the Gilmore!

Re: Hershey stickers here!
I haven't seen any carts for rent, but those fold out wire grocery carts with two wheels are pretty cheap. A backpack or shoulder bag can also come in handy.

Re: Hershey stickers here!
In years past I try to find as many Radio Flyer wagons and two wheel carts and sell them for $20.00. BEST EVER are the 3 wheeled baby carriages, knock off the seat and harness and add a milk crate with bungiee coards and you are good to go. About ten years ago I bought a 13 1/2 foot long NOS Model T truck frame extention and attached one end to my two wheel hand truck, that was an easy push, but it was half the length of the Chocolate field.

Re: Hershey stickers here!
Sometimes there are kids with wagons that charge a couple of bucks to haul your stuff. Bring rain gear and comfortable shoes. The flea market is all on blacktop now, so it can be hard on your legs. I have been to every Hershey since 1968 and believe it or not I miss the ankle deep mud in the old fields!

Re: Hershey stickers here!
Tip for First Timers: If you see an item you think you need/want BUY IT, it won't be there when you come back for it, IF you can find the spot again. Tip #2 make a note of the lamp post numbers neer a spot you hope to return to. Bob

Re: Hershey stickers here!
years ago, when we had mud, you knew you were in trouble when you had to have the tractor pull you into your spot. Ron

Re: Hershey stickers here!
The fellow with the WWI Renault tank looked right at home in the mud back in 1977 I believe. Bob

Re: Hershey stickers here!
So as a first timer should I be prepared to walk in mud or not?

Since you're from the UK, I know you'll be prepared with your Mac and Wellies. There are a few posts around on what to wear and bring, but please ask if you need advice. It's the Mecca of car shows, but it's much more enjoyable if you are prepared. And if you're coming the week before, take it Carlisle (Carsarcarlisle.com) and the AACA Museum is really close to the Hershey grounds, too. |

Re: Hershey stickers here!
I don't know if it was a one year only deal or not, but two years ago FedEx had a spot in the Green Field were they would wrap and ship your Hershey finds. I thought that was a great idea for people that fly in and would have the airport people reject your parts. Bob
