Hershey???

[Jon Bailey]

Planning my first trip to Hershey for the annual swap meet in April. Exactly
where is the meet? Address? What can I expect? Thanks

100 Hershey Park Dr.
Hershey, PA

The big parking lot. you can not miss it. Just follow the line of Porsches.

See you there.

[nineball]

you can expect a lot of pcars and to spend a lot of money on parts...

hershey, the aftermath

[DaddyGlenn]

I really need to go this year. Is there a specific date I should put on my calendar?

I know I'll see tons of great cars but what about the "swap" part of it. Is it primarily vendors selling new stuff or is this a good place to find/trade used parts?

This link will get you started:

Central PA Region PCA - Home of the World's Largest Porsche-Only Swap Meet - 1995 PCA Region of the Year - Hosts of the 2005 PCA Porsche Parade

This is a great event!!

Hope for good weather. Went there in 2003 and the turnout dropped substantially (can't really blame anybody) but even then there were a lot of people willing to brave the dreary constant rain all day.

Hopefully this works.... links to great car pictures from last year...

That is one swap meet I've always to check out! If for no other reason than its proximity to CHOCOLATE!

Jon, if you don't mind, just skip the part below which is written in almost-invisible ink, thanks


Now that I have checked out this thread, I gotta add this:

Boy are you guys getting soft! Low post count, no intro, no car pics. Posts to the tech forum as if it was a google search window, and not one person told him to do his own search! Whatever is this world coming to, I ask you?????

April 23rd this year...

Central PA Region PCA - Home of the World's Largest Porsche-Only Swap Meet - 1995 PCA Region of the Year - Hosts of the 2005 PCA Porsche Parade

I go ever year and haven't even bought anything the last two... Last year was a spectacular collection of Porsches - probably helped by beautiful weather finally!

It's a nice mix of of new and used. With many having new and used together.

Ok, so if I buy this who is in for a Pelican meeting spot?



I know it looks like a retarded Seagull but it is supposed to be a Pelican.

[KTL]

Send a msg to car311. Maybe he'll bring out his pink flaminga-pelican?

[drcoastline]

How many are coming from a dstance that are staying over? Can we set a meet and greet?

[j911brick]

I've been the past three years. When you enter the Hershy complex you'll be between two parking lots; stay to the right and it will take you around the perimeter till your parallel to the main road again. Then there will be some PCA folks on the right ushering you in. Parking is $10 I think. There are new and used vendors. Some great deals; some not so great CDOC usually shows up with some incredible deals. There is an Auto-x on sunday if your interested.

[nineball]

i think i'll be staying both nights this year and doing the auto-x on sunday, work permitting.

[d S coupe]

Haaaaa! Hershey. Since 1998 I say to my self, this year I go. It never happened hopefully this year will be the year.

[Jon Bailey]

Staying at least one night maybe two. I was hoping to play a round of golf while I'm there as well as visit the town.

[Halm]

This falls on Easter weekend this year. Traveling from Charlotte, about 500 miles, I may have to rethink it this year.

[kycarguy 935]

I will be driving up on Friday after work and staying through Sunday. I usually check out the auto-cross on Sunday.

[Shaun @ Tru6]

I'll be there again, delivering a lot of parts, hoping to actually walk around this year.n Looking forward to it!
