From now until Oct. there is a car event without 100 miles of WB every week. Just depends what you want to see.

 

Englers used auto and parts
Stairvill road
Walpwallopen, Pa. 18660

2 1/2 miles west of Rt. 81 exit 159....nice old yard to walk around in and you may find a part that you need.....stan

 

There will be a car show at the Bloomsburg Fairgrounds August 9-11. Nice facility, and the show is managed by the folks who run Carlisle Events. Last year was the first one, and it was pretty nice. Check it out..."CarlisleEvents.com"

 

Plenty of car stuff to find. Look up the Pocono Drag Lodge Reunion here on the HAMB, and on the 'net. It's off Route 115 about 20 minutes from Wilkes Barre.
