I know that everyone would like an update......... So here is one for Monday. Monday is called pack-in day as it is set aside for setting up. Well, as every veteran Hershey attendee can vouch, it is also the day for the best bargains. I am on a search for friends mostly this year and found some of their items on the 'wish list', but since neither friend gave me a high dollar amount, and I passed on a couple of those items. I did find some collectibles, so I kept the economy going. We set up the V-8 Club booth and ran into friends from TX, FL, OR, TN, NY and PA. We walked about 4.3 miles and saw a lot of open spaces, but it is the first day. Saw a very nice original 1938 Ford Phaeton, that of course needed everything, but it was all there. Priced at $8500.

Day 2 Very cool morning and pretty good traffic. We didn't start the woods on fire at the V-8 Booth, but we answered a lot of questions and we did renew /sign up 7 members. Got out to walk around late afternoon (3.1 miles) and did find a trinket or two. Try again tomorrow. Web Administrator

Day 3 Nice and cool morning translated to a warm and breezy afternoon. One new member and 6 renewals and 3 book sales. A good afternoon considering that people come for automotive items before automotive organizations. Walked 5.25 miles and saw a lot of parts and collectibles that I did not need. Have covered 3 of the 4 fields. I think that I got both sunburned and windburned. Good foot traffic in the Chocolate Field. Web Administrator

Day 4 Much better temperature upon arrival on the field. Traffic less than yesterday, but still 1 new member and 3 renewals. While my expert volunteers maned the booth, we completed the fields. Found some items for those who called me and placed their orders. Do I tell them what I really paid for the items? Yeah, sure. We packed up and left around 4:15 pm. It was a wonderful week with great weather. We hope that it holds for the car show tomorrow and the drive home. Web Administrator

Would love to. But we would need to join the AACA to make that happen, and currently, our space is thanks to a member. Web Administrator This message was edited by efv8CofAAdmin on 10-9-26 @ 9:55 AM

Day 5 -- bonus day We got up early to head over to the fields and then walk over to the entrance for the car show. Every vehicle (except the race cars) have to drive onto the fields (just like EFV-8CA). Saw a lot of old vehicles, but I'm sorry, a 2001 Dodge Viper is not an old car for me. But they were there. Also when was the last time you saw 3 Plymouth Superbirds? Walked around for about an hour and saw many vehicles that are no longer manufactured. Sadly, there were only about 7 flathead Fords on display. Also of note, the preservation class is now 3 rows big. Last year it was only 2 rows. We head home tomorrow. It is now time to pack the truck and hope everything still fits. Web Administrator
