I am comfortable with you making the Final Year of HERSHEY in 2999…. I am personally not coming after that…. L O L !!!

It is sacrilegious to steal at HERSHEY….. GOD WILL get the offending party…. They will “ GET “ what is coming to them for being a Thief….

I believe “ Signs “ have replaced “ Car Parts “ as the # 1 item at HERSHEY…. Everyone and his brother is trying to become “ American Pickers “ selling signs… My friend was one of the original “ Signs “ sellers —- and walks out of HERSHEY every year with a wad of $ 100s that would choke a race horse…. And they walk away from my booth, not having bought a $ 12 transmission mount, uttering “ Well, I don’t know if I really need it yet… I don’t want to carry anything…. ( I do have handled bags for purchases…. ) Craig…..

1932chev, Glad you are there!!! Love having women and ladies in the car hobby… you sure are way more Special than the women and ladies that knit and watch soap operas all day !!! I still prefer the term “ SWAP MEET “ to “ Flea Market “ 100 times over !!! LOL !!! Craig…. (Come visit me next year, I like you ! )

Uh oh !! 7:15 — r started again, not yet over…. more expected , I just looked, between now, and specifically between 8:00 A.M. and 9:00 A.M. —- and that cooooould be the last of it …..

6:36 A.M. —- just awoke from my last “ nap “ —- all is quiet on the precipitation situation !!! That might be it until 8 : 00 P.M. tonight !!! ^^^ And above ^^^ , yes a motor home should be what it is —- my neighbors have one to sleep in as opposed to a $ 200 per night hotel —- but they have a juicy , giant spread of parts out there… That is the right idea… And, as far as golf carts and SUVs, etc., give them time to mull it over…. Steve and Peter will, I am sure, read your submission, but they still would have to mention it at the meetings, etc,, etc., Rules had to be amended to address Drones, vaping, and new additions to the world… Our AACA is pretty hip on making changes and adaptations—- see other threads about Street Rods at HERSHEY !!! , etc. It is all about KEEPING HERSHEY GREAT !!! Remember, they have to incorporate 350,000 AACA members’ ideas and thoughts into all the pluses and minuses of a show —- and I guarantee that they will do a better job than in Washington ( please —- this is N O T a political statement !!! LOL !!! ) Give them time —- their focus is Today, maybe finally , possibly not having to deal with the r world, and putting on the # 1 Car Show on Planet Earth…. ( And remember —- they Are volunteers, and devote mega hours of their life for us!!!) Craig….. ENJOY the Show, everyone…..

4:48 A.M. —- it has stopped…. 4: 50 A.M. — started, and heavy again….

4:44 A.M. —- reduced to drizzle….

4 :36 A.M. —- the overnight one —- just started, and right out of the gate —- it is POURING….

======== NEWS FLASH ===== NEWS FLASH ======== NEWS FLASH ======= FORECAST and Radar have changed for the better —— maybe NO or next to no precipitation today ?!?!?!?!

Sorry, Teddy is packed , asleep now, and leaving at 7 : 00 A.M. , heading back to Rhode Island…….

To address your comments above : # 1 ) If you have spaces all over, and are only using one set of them, you are paying an awful lot of extra money with no return on investment… I know I wouldn’t be foolish enough to do that, and I don’t think (?) too many are (?)…. # 2 ) That is , for sure, the crux of the problem… That is why some prominent shows of yesterday year are no longer, or , on their death bed presently…. What we must do, is fill the aisles with vendors and fill the walkways with patrons, like it used to be…. Our opponents , naturally, are people dying, people too old to walk, very little next generations interest, and more…. # 3 ) There is a motor home parking lot —- where the Blue and White Fields used to be. If a motor home is part of a vendor’s spread, it needs to be at the back of their spread, like my next-door-neighbors…. # 4 ) Golf Carts are clearly a problem… Certainly at a lot of shows, where they just drive around through the swap meet area, and buy nothing from anyone…. And are constantly in the way of the walking patrons…. Here at HERSHEY, it must be said, and for years, That I actually have MORE golf carts stop at my stand and purchase items than at any other show !!! We are an older crowd, of course, so it really is difficult to deny people the right to cover more ground , as big as HERSHEY is, without the aid of some motorized equipment…. There, the golf cart drivers just need to utilize patience, and allow their slower moving brothers and sisters the right of way…..

Hey, su8pack1, We are a “ SWAP MEET “ —- N O T a “ flea market “ …… Flea Market is for women and fleas…. SWAP MEET is for MEN !!! L O L !!!

If you both and others read the comments that I and others put in the “ How is it going at HERSHEY thread “ , you will see, we are all with you on that, wholeheartedly…. With 4 beautiful days of weather, why in the world, were there so many empty spaces ??? My van and U - Haul are part of my spread, as they are chock full of 100 % automotive parts, All N E W and N.O.S. — and my spread is simply scrumptious… I dare say that it is the most delicious spread in all of HERSHEY !!! ( Joe P. Above knows this… ) Trust me, I wish every batch of spaces were filled like my 3 spaces, but the HERSHEY gang would have to work even harder, to find out whose spaces and why they were empty…. Heck, CARLISLE did just that a few years back, to make sure just the situation that you men address can not happen… It is not fair to the walking patrons….. Craig ……

Hello and Good Evening everybody, Here is my final report from HERSHEY 2023, First, I agree with PK Hammer, above, that a concern is with 4 just beautiful days these past four (4) days , why in the world are there so many EMPTY vendor spaces ???!! We know the HERSHEY Region of the AACA got paid for them, so they are not fretting, but, really, what gives ??? One patron asked me, “ what’s wrong with this field ? “ I answered him, “ I agree, but I don’t know, I am not their babysitter…” and shrugged my shoulders, agreeing with him in disbelief…. Ever vendor I spoke to (dozens) did fair, mediocre, eh - okay , or below par, awful, terrible, worst HERSHEY ever, and I don’t think I am coming back….. And, of course, that is NOT GOOD……… There were only two I know who did “ GOOD “ —- my friend Andy and me…. I had 13 of my 14 orders picked up, and the only one who didn’t pick it up, it is only a $ 75 item —- I gave him a courtesy call even, but got a voicemail… He didn’t call me back, so we’ll figure out a plan C , no big deal…. With my medical conditions, I had two friends help me get all my merchandise, tables, and overhead canopies back into the van and U - Haul, and then I treated them to Dinner and Ice Cream Sundaes inside Chocolate World…. I am going to pick up $ 2000 worth of merchandise an hour and a half from here , while I have the U - Haul ( pre arranged ) while I am down this way —- I might as well get my money’s worth…. So I will not be able to attend the show…. ————————- HERE IS SOME GREAT NEWS !!!!!!!! —————————— The r event has backed off some…. It is now scheduled from 4:00 A.M. to 10:00 A.M. this overnight, early Friday A.M. , then supposed to subside, and pick up again from 8:00 P.M. Friday evening through 10:00 A.M. Saturday…. That gives everybody a 10 Hour window to have the show go on !!! So everybody Pray tonight that you all can enjoy ( with due respect to Barnum and Bailey ) , the G R E A T E S T. S H O W. O N. E A R T H !!!! God Bless Us All , God Bless America and all our foreign friends, Have a blessed winter all, Let’s do this again in 2024 and for many years to come…. In fact, “ So much more, in 2024 !!! “ and “ Let our engines roar in 2024 !!! “

Hey Steve, Please have everyone use the term “ SWAP MEET “….. ” Flea Market “ sounds like Tupperware , Plates sets, Unwanted Baby Clothes, Old Used Raggedy Ann’s, Beanie Babies, and Sun Glasses….. ” SWAP MEET “ is Cars, Car Parts, and Automotive Related Items…. Flea Markets, by and large, are for ladies in the neighborhood… SWAP MEETS, by and large, are for M E N ….. Craig…..

I am sure you are watching with me —- Thursday —- all glorious…. the r word rolling in tonight around midnight —- for 12 hours —- all morning through Noon —- clear window from 12 : 00 Noon through 7 : 00 P.M. Friday r returns at 7 : 00 P.M. Friday evening into Saturday…. We shall see —- cross your fingers and toes and Pray…. Craig….
