thehandleman 180 Posted October 16 Friday was my Second best day of Sales from Tuesday setup thru Saturday, why all the tired bail on Friday more and more customers keep coming. Great Hershey! thanks for the pictures TJ Cheers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Moskowitz 1,328 Posted October 16 Ted, I am not sure where you got the impression Friday was over by 2 PM. I had to be in numerous places on the fields and it was still doing very well all day with less people pulling out than the past two years. When vendors travel to be here by Tuesday and many were at Carlisle it is a long time to be away from home. I wish they would stay and we are going to look at some ideas to help make Saturday stronger next year. This was a great year for Hershey!! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wanted to start packing by 4 but the crowd was pretty thick and we couldn't even begin covering things up until at least 5 PM. Terry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thehandleman 180 Posted October 16 Had people at mine and brothers spots till 5:30 easy on Friday, even though I had no sales on Saturday cause it takes me 6 solid hours of packing and taking down canopies my brother had sales whole time he was packing up on Sat. Another observation since chocolate south lost people entrance, my buddies in corner of Red both said they would have droves of people all morning where my mornings now are slow till about 11:00 and then crazy so that may take people longer to get over to our fields 🤔 just a thought Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Restorer32 1,456 Posted October 16 Is it still possible to stay over until Sunday morning or must the fields be empty by Saturday evening? In the old Green Field we always stayed over until Sunday. Sometimes we had no choice if it was too muddy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John S. 364 Posted October 21 Great pictures. It was a wonderful Hershey. Thanks, John Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Moskowitz 1,328 Posted October 21 As it stands now, we have to be out on Saturday. Who knows what the future will be. There is cost associated with security etc. that HE& R would naturally require. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reicholzheimer 8 Posted October 23 Back in the 1980's and 90's when the car show was in the center of the fields the swap meet was more popular. The rows were wall to wall people. This was my 32nd year doing Hershey and 10 years ago I decided to tear down on Friday afternoon and get up early and enjoy the Car Show. I own 3 antique cars and enjoy the swap meet but Saturday to me is Show Day. I setup on Tuesday and deal until Friday and that's enough. I guess to each his own.

pkhammer 12 Posted October 24 The crowd and sales are typically excellent for us from our arrival on Tuesday through about 4:00 on Friday then it tapers off pretty quickly. We stay until Saturday but usually pull out by lunchtime. There is almost nobody in the swap meet areas on Saturday and we make few if any sales. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That was our exact experience on the Green field, not far from the Hyman bus. Good traffic, then around 4 pm on Firday it was like someone threw a switch and everyone disappeared...….
