Well.... once again that time of year is creeping up very fast. We're looking to try something different this year. Doug (Ratical) and I are still working out details, but the idea is to provide a few different things groups can do rather than have everyone drive en-masse from place to place.
Friday
Meet & Eat (isn't that all we do on these events anyway? )
I believe we've settled on Piero's again in Akron.
Saturday
The idea came up of providing a few alternative activities for Saturday. So, here's what we're going to do:
End the evening with dinner and desert at Doug & Margo's place on Saturday evening (7 PM-ish).
I'd like everyone to post what they plan to do.
If you're going to do the chocolate walk, be sure to register on the site for your button (so you can get your freebies at each of the locations).
For the Hershey show, I'll have directions to get there from the hotel (although it's quite easy).
And for the traditional chocolate/candy run, we'll meet in York as usual at Stauffer's Cookie Company outlet store. (directions will be posted later)
Sunday
For Sunday, a liesurly drive to see some covered bridges followed by a picnic lunch. This worked well last year. I've factored in a few places we can stop for pictures as well.
Well, I'm not sure what we could do there. We've already done the PA railroad museum and National Toy Train Museum. (The Hershey show ends on Saturday so that's obviously out.)

Hi I'm a new owner and am working for the summer in the Hershey area. Will try to get Sat off. Can you give me an idea and TIME for the Car Museum. Would love to meet some more SSR's and get some pointers from "professionals".

Hello, and welcome! Right now, the plans aren't set, but the idea was to do the AACA car show/swap meet, not the AACA museum.
Check back on the thread here for updates in the next few weeks.
This post will be for the list of those planning to attend.
Full weekend
Saturday Only
Sunday Only
Xseler8
SAT is a possibility. Not sure but I'd like to be there if I can. Will know toward the end of Aug. We are talking about coming up Fri and turning it into full weekend. (staying at a Motel).
Here are the accomodations we have come up with for the Chocolate/Covered Bridge weekend:
Holiday Inn Express, 101 Crosswinds Drive, Lititz, PA 717-625-2366 Room Rates:
4 - One King Bed rooms, non-smoking - $112.99 plus tax on Thursday and Sunday. $130.99 plus tax on Friday and Saturday.

Both locations supply breakfast included in the cost of the room.
This B&B is about 1 mile from our house.
We are looking at other bed & breakfasts and as soon as we know availability, we will post the information. We tried several times to contact Doneckers and when we visited the property it was rundown and looked unoccupied so we did not pursue this location any further.
Please pm us wherever you make your reservation so we can keep a count on both locations.
Doug and Margo Evans

I'll plan on booking at the Holiday Inn so I can run escort duty for those that need/want it. And if you can't wait for the chocolate, Wilbur is less than 2 miles due north.

Those who would like to smell nitro fumes and feel the ground shake this is only 1/2 hour from here. We find the best thing is to attend qualifing on Fri at 2:30 & 5:30 Track is secured at 7 pm. The last run is usually around dark the the flames are high and the speed is incredible.

Hi John, Yes we will be in the R. We are leaving here on the 1st and making our way to Montreal and then down to visit Mason for a couple of days in Vermont. We saw the thread about the tour and thought it sounded like fun. We hope to see you on the 8th if all goes well. (and John, it's Cow Trail Lane!)

Has the agenda been set yet?
Location for Friday, meet & eat?
Plans set yet for Saturday?
Time and starting place for Sunday?
Or is too early for answers to these questions?
We are about 1 ˝ hour from Hershey and are trying to decide, book the hotel, drive back home each day or get a campsite somewhere in-between.
