mobileparts Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 I am at Dolly’s Coin Laundry here in Carlisle on Sunday , as we all anxiously await our entrance into the # 1 Car Show and Swap Meet in the Universe —- HERSHEY…. I figured I would start the “ How Is It Going at HERSHEY ? “ thread, where we can all discuss our adventures, treks, and experiences at HERSHEY 2023… I don’t know what this year’s slogan is , but , I will say , ” There is so much to do and see at HERSHEY 2023 “ See ya’ there in less than 22 hours….. Craig… Red Field R C C 74 - 76….. Good Luck to all of us and Enjoy !!! Magnifique…. El Mejor….Shiboo…. and 10 other languages…. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gossp Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 I have circled the chocolate field in the ‘15 Dodge Brothers and sold enough to pay for one of our seven spaces, already willing to declare this Hershey a huge success. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mobileparts Posted October 2, 2023 Author Share Posted October 2, 2023 I am just now sitting down next to my spread, eating lunch…. What the heck, it is 7:23 P.M….. Not too many people walking the aisles. Back here in RED FIELD Central, I would say only 25 % of the vendors are here… I guess tomorrow is the big move in day ?!?! Or, maybe they are thinking it is still Tuesday through Saturday, and did not realize that it is now Monday through Friday?!?! I had a bunch of orders picked up —- Ernesto from Oviedo, Spain, Janne from Sweden, Laurent and his father from Belgium, and a huge order including Front & Rear Brake Drums for Rick from Rhode Island , oh, plus Bill from New Hampshire…. Certainly a good start —- picked up a lot of room in the U - Haul….. Despite my medical condition/ situation—- that many of you know about —- I was able to share a lot of smiles, Handshakes, bro hugs, —- and, basically, no amount of chocolate can equal the Happiness at HERSHEY !!!! Have fun , all, and find your bucket list items….. Craig…… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Bollman Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 We pulled in around 1pm. Got mostly setup but didn’t really open or sell anything. Not moving as fast this year. Old age comes to fast. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mobileparts Posted October 3, 2023 Author Share Posted October 3, 2023 Today at HERSHEY —- it was empty…. For long periods of time…. I have never seen the aisles so empty on a beautiful Sun shiny day…. Some of my friends, many year customers, and others said the exact same thing… Where is Everybody ??? What are they waiting for ??? It was busier Yesterday / Monday … than it was today…. That’s crazy…. And the vendors …. Where are they ??? There are so many empty spots everywhere you look…. That is a crying shame , also…. That being said, I had two of my bigger orders picked up, 3 other orders picked up, met 2 really good people who made nice initial purchases, and had one “ be-backer “ from yesterday come and buy yesterday’s request…. Laurent and his father from Belgium brought me a gift of some Belgian Chocolate —- and I am sorry, HERSHEY, with all the chocolate you have inside Chocolate World; this was clearly superior !!! You add up everything today, it was acceptable…. But I had plenty of time on hand, to make it a smokin’ hot day !!! Maybe, tomorrow….. See y’all tomorrow….

Steve Yes tomorrow you will be able to view the cars, either before the auction starts (5 pm) or outside when they bring them from the lot into the building. Location is Hershey Lodge, 325 University Drive. Hershey Pa. 17033 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the general public is free to view the cars in the tents. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
