    For the last few years I've parked in the lot across from the Giant Center. Since I come in Rt39 from the Harrisburg area (I meet my son for breakfast each year), could you suggest where I might head for parking? I would appreciate any suggestions, as riding around Hershey in circles, especially after the second cup of cofee, will get my day off to a bad start. Thanks, Paul.

    I'd park across just north of the creek. It's free over there because Hershey doesn't own it.

    noboD...thank you for the updates on the parking situation.

    We usually camp in the lot across from the Giant Center.
    Any idea on where they will put the campers this year?
    It sounds like we'd all get stuck if they put us in that lot.

    If you hear anything noboD please let us all know.

    brookville wants $1700 for new floor subrails that I need for my 32 project. I'll be selling blood and maybe one of my legs in the parking lot by the main gate if anyone is interested.

    There's a private HAMB friendly camp ground 1 1/2 miles from the Giant Center, if interested. PM if that would work.

    I'll second that! I remember years ago he told me about a website called the HAMB with 2,600+ members. Life hasn't been the same since.:)

    Going to make the trip on Thursday, haven't been in about 10 years.

    Is there a link to a list of vendors and locations?

    Thanks, Gary

    Thanks for the update, its always nice to have the blacktop washed off before I set things up. This year I'm featuring formerly owned patina'd automotive items, and paper effemera. HAMB Banner should arrive tomorrow.

    Most of the pavement stickers are gone, washed away. Should be very interesting finding spaces.

    Skidmarks, just had a news flash. South of Hershey on 743 there is some construction. Just had to listen to the wife complaining about sitting for one way traffic. They've been working on this intersection for about 6 weeks, should have been done by now. You may want to go farther on 283 to Middletown? Google it. Look for Vine Street as the cross over from M-town to Hershey.

    Loading up with lots of select flathead speed goodies the parts have high mileage but only by being carried in the back of my pickup truck year after year. Who knows maybe someone will be interested in a few original parts not cheap copies from some off shore country. Not much on my want list this year. But Im sure once I walk around I will find that special something I did not know I needed. Check out space C4J 34 and 35 if you need some aluminum for your flathead.

    Rental van is packed, really packed wrapped stuff in shipping blankets to protect the rear windows. Ten pounds of crap in a five pound bag is a Hershey trademark of mine. Sure hope the struff sells. On the road tomorrow at 6, hope you have a safe trip. Bob
