Antique Automobile Club of America-Hershey Fall Meet

How Sweet It IS (pun intended)! This is an old Jackie Gleason phrase. It is true as Hershey is so so sweet. It is the Mecca for car nuts, gear heads, curiosity seekers and best of all- it is free.

There are thousands of vendors and old cars at Hershey-and thousands of people-from all over the world. Some are seeking old car parts, some are buying tools, and some are here for parts and partying. At night the generators are buzzing-some powering the instruments for small bands. A lot of folks just relax-gather around a fire with their friends, Bud and Miller.

The mornings bring wonderful aromas of coffee, ham and bacon. You can even find a rare breakfast of sourdough buckwheat pancakes-a southern delicacy.

Hershey is not only for cars as old toys, mechanical game and wooden boats and outboard motors abound. If you have never attended a Fall Meet- please place it high on your "Bucket List"!

Carlisle-Fall Event

Oh give me a home-where the buffalo roam-and the ........................ so the old Gene Autry Song goes! This time we are not home on the range. We are in Carlisle, Pa. - at the annual fall event-gigantic automobile flea market- car corral and auction. Thousands of vendors set up their stands, sleep in their cars and vans, and have a great time.

The best part is the unexpected- you never know what trash or treasure you will find. You might find an 82 year old retired Chevrolet-Cadillac Dealer unloading a truckload of NOS parts left over from the dealership-things that are difficult to find.

You might find a buffalo-life sized and made of aluminum. Buying one of these monsters can pose a problem-especially if you only have a mini van. The rooster is priced at 1500 and is about twelve feet tall. Even is you're not into cars- this place is fun to walk around.
