Recommended Posts

If you’re headed to Hershey, Pa. for the AACA Eastern Fall Nationals this October, take the opportunity to join your fellow Hudsonites at one of the H-E-T’s gathering places in or near Hershey.

 

The AACA flea market will run from Tuesday, Oct. 8 through Friday, Oct. 11 on the grounds and parking lots surrounding HersheyPark and The Giant Center. The AACA car show itself will take place on Friday.

 

The H-E-T hospitality and recruitment trailer will be parked in the flea market’s Red Field at space RNE 24-25 for the full four days, from roughly 8:30 AM until 5:00 PM daily (or until noon on Friday). There, Club members can enjoy donuts and fresh coffee, see old friends and meet new ones, renew Club memberships, post messages on the bulletin board, and even store heavy Hudson parts behind the counter for pickup later in the day.

 

Meanwhile, the Club has arranged for a block of 15 reduced-rate rooms at the Quality Inn, 1825 Harrisburg Pike, Carlisle, Pa., for use by Club members. The discount room rate is $89 per room plus 11% tax. For further information see the "Hudsons at Hershey" posting at the private H-E-T Club Forum, on the Club website. The motel is located on Route 11, just east of its intersection with Interstate 81, (exit 52A/B). It is 30 miles west of Hershey.

 

A Hudson hospitality room will be open at the motel’s meeting room from 4 PM to 8 PM on Thursday and Friday afternoons, with light snacks available.

 

On Thursday at 6:30 PM a dinner gathering will take place in a private room at Hoss’ Steak and Sea House, 909 Walnut Bottom Rd., in Carlisle (located nine minutes from the motel.) Each party may order off the menu separately. Please notify Jon Battle by Sept. 22 if you plan to attend (see contact information below).

 

An all-Hudson flea market is planned at the Quality Inn parking lot on Saturday, Oct. 12 from 8 AM to noon. No registration fee is required. However, the event depends entirely upon the weather and the presence of parts vendors, so sellers and buyers may wish to contact Jon Battle (see below) before planning to attend.

 

Finally, if you’d consider volunteering at any of the H-E-T’s Hershey activities, please contact Jon Battle by Oct. 1 (contact information is listed below). We especially need people at the hospitality room, and to help at the trailer, where they’ll welcome Hudson enthusiasts from across the U.S. and around the world, recruit new members, and spread the word about Hudsons to those who have never heard it. We can sometimes find room to display outstanding Hudsons next to the booth, allowing their owners to park their cars right in the flea market. Please contact us if you’d be interested.

 

Those with questions may phone Jon at (540) 364-1770 before Oct. 8 (or 703-986-8785 afterwards), or e-mail him at xxxdetailed@verizon.net . Remove the xxx before sending.
