Anyone going to the Hershey, PA. swapmeet in April?
http://www.centralpaporsche.org/swap/index.html
Anyone going to the Hershey, PA. swapmeet in April? This will be my first and I'm considering driving my 911 if the weather permits. I would prefer to caravan with others. Anyone interested? I'm traveling from Detroit and would like to avoid the Interstate and take "country roads", if possible, kind of a "scenic route" thing would be preferred... Thanks!!

Yes, I'm going. Last year, a number of Pelicans met up the night before for some socializing. Great fun.

Jim are you driving one of the P-cars? I am "planning" to go, but will probably take the big rig, just in case I find some stuff I can't breath without.

Chris, I'll take the E if the weather is nice, otherwise it'll have to be the 993 luxury ride.

I'm hoping I can find others driving from the Detroit/Chicago area that I can "caravan" with. If the weather permits, I'll drive the 911, if not, I'll drive my Taurus "beater". It would be more fun (and safer) to drive with a group of like-minded Porsche folks, I believe...

I would like to go to the swap meet, but I'm going to Daytona instead.

Wow....thinking of spring already.
For those of you quoted as saying "if weather permits, I'll take the P-car", don't count on it. Maybe if we all plan on a cold rainy day, we'll have nice weather. I'll be heading up from the Pittsburgh area (with Pelican T-Shirt in hand). ![]()

I'll definitely be there. The week prior is the absolute drop-deadline for the engine swap into the new 930; if it's clear, she's coming too. It'll probably snow.

Big mistake to bring the p-car. I drove mine last year and regretted it in the first 15min. You need space to bring stuff home. I passed on lots of good deals as I had no way to get the goods home.
But on the other hand... the drive there and back....

I'll be there at the Bear's Den on Friday. Hope it's a little drier this year.

God, the weather sucked so bad last year. It poured every second of that day and I stepped into a huge puddle as soon as I got out of my car. I hated it and probably won't go if the weather is that bad again this year. As for transporting stuff home, there are always a few folks from this area who head up in a truck or van and take stuff home for others.

I'm going, I'll more than likely drive one of the p-cars. I'm in NW Ohio and would love to caravan with other pelicans. Please let me know if any of you want to meet up Thanks TAB

How about trying to get a all Pelican parking area? Any thoughts?
Anyone know the PCA members from that region?
