How do I get a flea market space (s)?

In the May/June issue of the Antique Automobile Club Magazine there will be an activities card listing all the available activities pertaining to the AACA Eastern Divisional Fall Meet at Hershey. Complete the activities card and mail to the National Headquarters.  An AACA staff member will then mail to you the appropriate registration card.  If you are a new AACA member and did not receive the magazine, please call national at 717-534-1910 to request the registration packet. Complete the card and mail to Hershey Region AACA, PO Box 305, Hershey, PA.  There is a limit of (3) spaces per person (each space is approximately 10' X 30') during summer registration.   Assignment of spaces will be in order of post mark on the mailing envelope.

 

I already have assigned flea market spaces. Can I get spaces next to them?

 

There are no guarantees of space assignments.  If you would like a space (s) adjoining your existing spaces, submit a note along with your registration card and check. Every effort will be made to accommodate your request. Again, there are no guarantees.
