Default Anyone heading to Hershey this weekend?

Just curious if anyone is heading there? I understand they have some nice Souvenir Swap Shirts there.

Cheers!

Are you referring to the leftover shirts from last year?

I'm probably going. Never been before, but it could be interesting. Probably won't be picking up a souvenir shirt, though

Say Hi if you see me. Me: Red jacket and an 8-year-old blonde boy in tow. I'm sure I'll have to promise him a toy Porsche. Seems only fair, since that's what I have.

I drove over Friday night, spent the night, and was at Hershey Park first thing this AM. It was my first time there and I would guess there were 300+ Porsches in the lot. It was very cool.

The weather was sunny but cold and windy. It was really quite cool to see all of these cars in one spot. I spent more time walking up and down the rows of cars than I did looking at parts!

Another neat thing: I got to meet Karl Ludvigsen and got his autograph in his book "Porsche - Origin of the Species".

As for the T-shirts for the event, were just not my cup of tea.....

I think I arrived a tad too late in the afternoon but feel it was still worth the trip. Had a great drive there and back, all in all a really good day.

Stopped at the Turkey Hill for a cup of coffee before hitting the road and got a kick out of hearing a woman comment "My God, they are everywhere today".

Had a nice drive up and a nice day with my son. Lots of cool cars, but all the vendors seemed to be selling ancient parts for ancient Porsches, so I came up mostly empty handed. Still, it was a enjoyable trip

The trip to Hershey with the local PCA:



This was one of his favorites:


Oh, and he got his toy...

It truly was a windy day. It was a consistant breeze that was a pain in the ***.











Not a Porsche, but freakin awesome.
