32tatra Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Just looked at my 2011 (5771) jewish calender. Yom Kippur will be Oct 8 2011. Which happens to be Hershey show day. This is the latest I have I ever seen Yom Kippur fall. This also means Rosh Hashanah, will be the Thursday and Friday of fall Carlisle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Roth Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 This has happened multiple times in the past - nothing new !!There are congregations in Harrisburg which will accommodate you, typically with a request in advance from your congregation.

trimacar Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Yep, I've seen Marty disappear at Hershey (hmmm, is that possible, to see someone disappear), and not because of rusty car parts. I have a much lessor problem, my wife's birthday is October 11th, and every now and then I have to choose between day of car show and wife.........I must admit, for 364 other daily reasons, I usually choose the wife.....

West Peterson Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 I'm in the same boat. My wife's birthday is October 7th. I don't have to make a decision, fortunately. She knew before we got married that I would be gone almost every year on her birthday. Actually, I think that my being gone is a present for her.

Rick Hoover Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 West, My wife's is the same day. So to be on the safe side, I had all of this included and squared away in our wedding vows. She wouldn't complain about Hershey and I'd be at the Fall Meet, not being able to hear it if she did. Of course, the wedding was before there were cell phones!

Shop Rat Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Young friends of ours were married just prior to Heshey several years ago and the honeymoon was a trip to the Hershey Fall Meet. Two years ago their son made his first trip to experience the High Holy Days of Hershey. I think he was ten. He loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketraider Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 The difference I see here is that a wedding can be scheduled around Hershey, though I have known old car owners whose children deliberately scheduled weddings/showers etc at swap meet time. A significant religious holiday cannot be scheduled around things like this. Glad to hear there are ways to accomodate both swap meet and high holy days.

West Peterson Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 A friend of mine is about 50, and has been to one more Hershey than his age as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Roth Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 (edited) My birthday is October 5thI think it is great that the whole OLD CAR UNIVERSE comes to HERSHEY to help me celebrate my birthday every year !Dinner at Funck's in Palmyra is a chance to overeat and run into hundreds of old-car friends, and then get a free banana-split for my birthday.The last time I did not make Hershey was 1983.My nearly-14-year-old grandson has an October 8th birthday, but cannot skip school. (We say that the fetus is considered viable when it graduates Med School.)See y'all for my birthday !!!

John_Maine Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 In 2008, our daughter's due date was October 13. When I left for Hershey, I wasn't worried but my wife was really ticked off that I was going because she thought I should be here for the birth of our first grandchild. I was sure he wouldn't be early. Well, sure enough, he was born on the 9th - which was Thursday that year. I skipped the car show and headed home on Saturday morning. Since then, I get " but you're going to be gone for Zach's birthday". However, birthdays were always more important in my wife's family than mine so I just shrug it off. She knows I'm going to go to Hershey from now on no matter what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimacar Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Marty, I thought you asked for a birthday dessert EVERYWHERE you ate, all year 'round?!?!Well, I'll miss your bday this year, so have a happy in advance. Will miss being with you guys, it's always so much fun....The one thing that does hurt, not going this year due to business travel, is that my 14 year old son has been to at least 7 Hershey gatherings (and my favorite Hershey memory is me complaining about the mud, and him at 7 or 8 years old stomping through the puddles and laughing), and I'll miss taking him this year, being with him and all his fun comments and (the other shoe drops) complaining. And, watching him eat a 1 pound hamburger from Fuddruckers.....amazing.....and he's skinny.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
