Hershey back in the day.

[Joe Agro]

My first trip to Hershey was in 1970

I kept going for 50 consecutive years until covid caused the cancellation of the largest flea market in the world.

I managed to save a few mementos along the way.

 

1970 dash plaque

FLEA MARKET REENTRY GATE PASS issued by Vendor Security

Original Red Field sticker from the first year of color designations. Blue and Red.

 

I just noticed that the gate pass is clearly marked "property of Hershey Region AACA

Am I required to return it? If so to whom?

My first Hershey was 1996, I was looking for Parts for my 51 Chevy.

 

Some pictures I snapped on Saturday.

My first year too Joe.  Wasn't a vendor for a few more years yet but was a brand new AACA member.  Those were great times.  Still had brass cars inside the stadium.  It took all day to see the entire swap meet.  I had to miss a few years because Uncle Sam thought I needed to be elsewhere, but even in that silly covid year, we went to Hershey, parked our car on our swap meet spaces and took a picture.  Look forward to spending more time visiting with you next time.  All the best, and thanks for getting these memories flowing again.
