You can still register as a vendor on Saturday, just go to the Central Pa Region Club Tent and sign up (approx $45 per space) and then back your car up to the space and sell out of your trunk - or - off the table you brought with you.
If you only have a few low-priced items you might want see if one of the registered vendors will sell your part for a 10-20 percent commission
For those who are looking for larger parts, you may want to bring a sling with you so that you can handle the part better while walking.
If anyone is selling any 968 parts, models, etc, let me know - I can also use more 968 stuff!
Stop by the Concours area are and say hello.

p.s. Swap Meet normally opens at 7:30 am Saturday and that is the best time to find those rare 968 parts, models or literature.
p.s.s. Concours awards will be between 12:30 and 1pm.

Look forward to seeing you all at the Swap Meet Saturday. Drop by the Concours area and say hello. I will have my 968 parked there with all my 968 Literature and models on display.

Raj and Damian,
Sorry to hear that possibility of rain on Saturday will change your plans to attend. I will be at the Group Dinner Friday and at the Swap Meet Saturday, rain or shine!

Sorry, probably not going this year. Went last year for the first time without a Porsche. Not the same experience. Will def be in another Porsche by next year. I want a 968 badly but wouldn't pass on a very clean origional 951. I do miss my turboed baby so...
If there is any clean 968's up there takes some pics and post em. Coupe, 6 speed, no tan interiors. Not extremely picky otherwise. You could say I kinda like em all.
Have fun to all that attend!

If it rains I may not attend either. I just checked weather.com and the weekend forecast shows 70% chance. It may not matter anyway since she hasn't been washed since a few rides ago... Its just no fun with the top up.

I wasn't going, rain or shine. A little rain never scared me, we've had some unreal storms back in the good old early days!

update on Hershey Swap Meet:
Yes, it is drizzling in Hershey. yes, 5 wet 968s and 1 944 Turbo went to the Group Dinner nearby and had a blast, catching up on each other lives and meeting new owners.
We returned to the Hilton and met Jeff and his now tall son Greg, who attended his first 968 event in 2001 at age 10. Now he is a Freshman in College! Looked at more 968 memorabilia, the 968 Library and lots of 968 models.
Forecast for tomorrow still looks wet but hey, our cars are wet already and we will be there. If anyone else is on the fence about coming, come on over - we will save a spot for you in the Concours area where many 968s, and a beautiful 944 Turbo, will be parked.
Check out attached photos.
