Hey everyone, I'm a new vendor and had a wonderful time. Per that beer buying deal it's just silly. I pack my cooler in MD and thats all I have to say about that legality... there are more important things to worry about the night before the swap meet... like where and when will I have a chance to sleep. My first day vending was rough, got only one hour of sleep due to packing all the stuff and transporting the Rambler and vintage Shasta Camper to Hershey. I do recall the pain in the keister I had last spring at Carlise when I went to buy beer in Carlise.... took the wrong road and drove for 5 miles out of town. Then ended up at a pizza shop and brought a 12 pack to the counter, empolyee looks at me and says there is a rule saying I can only buy 6 beers per person...! You gotta be frick'n kidding I'm thinking (how does anyone ever go fishing up here?) Anyway my buddy is back at the show, and I'm here by myself, what a look I'll get when I return with only 6 beers..... ha ha ha. So then the employee behind the counter says to me "it's OK to take the beer to the car and return immediately and buy some more". Ok I"m thinking I must be in a Candid Camera gag of sorts. So I walk my 6 pack out to the Rambler (doors don't always lock) and there stands a teenager, peering at me, I think he's looking for someone to buy beer for him? I didn't like his look, was quite concerned he'll steal my 6 pack as I went in to buy my other 6 pack. (Tell me I'm not in a bad dream) I'm going sheer nuts over this and laughing my a@@ off too at how silly this was. So I move the Rambler closer to the front door, slip in and get the other half of the refreshments. Total time to buy a 12pack was close to a hour.... I'll be a monkeys uncle to ever patronize PA again for any beer sales... that's for frick'n shure. LOL. As to Hershey, I just got my vendor spaces (I'm the guy with the stuffed groundhog sitting on the pile of old tires) and didn't have time to bring along any friends. My entire row of vendors were all new too.... they seemed just as unprepared as I being that the spaces magically became available and we just went for it and bought them. I think I fed half the row, and they all enjoyed my Maryland beer. Total time to buy a 12 pack in Maryland.... 4 minutes. Ramble'n Randy
