Anyone picking up the reigns from Don? FYI the swap meet is scheduled for April 24, 2010. I'm planning on going and maybe bringing both cars this year.

We will definitely bring the 968 cab, and hopefully the 951 if she's running before then. Hope to see you guys there.

Jeff- I guess I am not a registered member ....? Maybe PCA has a limit on how many types of porsches you can own... I am active PCA, what do I need to do to get notifications etc?

Cheers, Mike

Default Hershey

Below are the details. This year's event is being organized by a group of 968 enthusiasts. The event is not sponsored by any one group. If you have attended before, you know it is a great event. It is without the question, the single event that attracts the most 968s in one location. A few years back we had almost 100. The weather has been great during the past couple of events.


Spring is coming and so is the Hershey Swap Meet…our annual chance to gather, gab, and engorge on chocolate and fun in Hershey, PA.

This year's event will be held RAIN or SHINE from Friday, April 23rd, through Sunday, April 25th, to give you more events and more opportunities to meet and visit with your 968 friends.

The atmosphere will be very casual and relaxed.

Friday – April 23, 2010

Meet at the Hilton Gardens Inn – Hershey

550 East Main Street

Hummelstown, PA 17055

(717) 566-9292

A block of rooms are available for both Friday and Saturday night at $139 per night (plus sales and occupancy tax).

Be sure to tell them you are with "968 Celebration" to get the special rate.

The hotel will provide a hose and water on Friday afternoon so that you will be able to rinse and shine at the hotel.

The parking lot will have a special corral marked off with cones so that the cars are not disturbed.

There will be no organized group dinner on Friday evening. Everyone is encouraged to mingle and meet. We will have some recommendations for dining.

Saturday – April 24, 2010

8:00 AM SHARP!!!: Leave from Hilton Gardens Inn at to caravan to the Hershey Swap Meet. Lineup at the hotel starts at 7:30 AM. We leave at 8:00am and should be at the event by 8:15am.

Jim Groelinger, PCA 968 Register co-advocate, will be collecting $10.00 CASH before we leave the hotel and will pay for our group to be parked in the concours area at the swap meet. If you do not drive in with the group, please join us in the concours area when you arrive (you will need to pay the $10 fee yourself at the gate).

We will, as always have a tailgate party at the Swap Meet, headed by Kathy Downs (our perennial party favorite). It helps a lot if everyone brings some type of food to share....munchies, store bought food, whatever. Please bring your chairs or blankets, sunscreen, and a food item and/or beverage to share (if it needs to be refrigerated, you need to have a cooler).

After caravan arrives at concours area, the tailgate begins with breakfast! Kathy will supply OJ and donut holes -- please bring something to share if you wish. Suggestions: bagels/cream cheese, hard boiled eggs, fruit salad, pastries, etc
For later, Kathy will supply basic sandwich fixin's (bread/rolls, selection of lunch meats and cheese, condiments, etc.). Suggestions: pasta or potato salad, veggies, salsa/chips, watermelon, desserts. As always, thanks to Kathy for her generous work with the tailgate.

Dinner – Saturday, April 24, 2010 7:30 PM

Fenicci's Restaurant

102 West Chocolate Avenue

Hershey, PA 17033

Fenicci's will be serving a family style dinner of their best Italian specialties, including Appetizer, Pasta, salad, and Entrée, with soft drinks included, for an all-inclusive price of $27.00/person.

Your reservation, along with a check for $27.00 per person for this event, will need to be received NO LATER THAN Saturday, April 17, 2010.

Please remit payment to:

Jay Kravitz
c/o RS Barn
53B German Avenue
Newtown, PA 18940

We hope to have a speaker for dinner, and perhaps a few surprises!

Sunday – April 25, 2010

9:00 AM: Meet in the parking lot at Hilton Gardens Inn for a fun run in the beautiful countryside around Hershey. This event will be sponsored by 968Forums and will not be connected with, sponsored by, or have any relationship to, PCA or any chapter of PCA.

The fun run will be approximately 50-70 miles and will be completed by Noon.

968Forums will sponsor a lunch at the end of the run. The timing is expected to allow most participants to make their way home before sunset.

968 Celebration at Hershey 2010 promises to be a great gathering! Make your plans today!

I may be meeting some friends for a private dinner Friday night, but I'm not able to participate beyond that.

That's a shame, your gonna miss the best event yet.
I was supposed to go to a BMW show on that Sunday,
but I think I'm gonna stick around for the fun run instead.
I'm glad this was finally added to the calender.

Hershey in April usually is rain and shine. We had a mini tornado there one year at the Hilton Gardens Inn, it was like the Wizard of Oz.

2003 Hershey had 80 attendees, that was the high mark. Jeff would be the one to ask.
