I am getting ready to book my hotel for the weekend (4/22/06)and had a thought. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif)

If anyone else is staying over night we should all try to stay at the same hotel...NOT the same room (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif)

I stayed at a few in years past they range from $55-$90. I can call the place and see if I can get a block of rooms reserved for a week or so. I'll post the rate and phone # and you just need to call and make your reservation.

Anyone (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ph34r.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/type.gif)

Hi Kerry,
I've always just done it as a day trip. See you and as many others as I can in the aisles.

kerry,

The wife and I may be in to hang out for a night. I also saw on the central pa sight that they will reserve an area for the 914 club if we ask. I am thinking we should ask for about 20 spots for 914. Other who are going chime in and we can get a number to send to them to keep for us.

I'm really looking forward to going, just bought another car and two of the business' I invested in and not doing well so I may not be able to buy much. Thinking meeting other owners and talking about which way they went and who they use for parts etc. may make the trip worthwhile. I have a brother in New Jersey so I will go there and make it a day trip. For those who have been before, is their a lot of vendors and people with booths that have good reliable stuff? I hate the thought of getting back to Canada and finding stuff doesn't fit or it's the wrong year, etc.

I've been there every year since they moved it to Hershey. Some years have been good to me, and some years haven't (but they all rained on me except one I think), but I think of myself as a pretty knowledgeable buyer. I guess it's always buyer beware at a swapmeet, but I have never found anyone deliberately selling junk or trying to mislead.

Me and 3 other guys got our reservations 2 months ago. Too many times we have waited till late Feb or early March and have been stuck way outside of Hershey paying high prices. If you are going to make reservations, do it soon.

I wouldn't miss this event for the world. But for me, it's all about riding out to Hershey In a Suburban or Motorhome with 3 other Porsche nutcases. Between us we have 4 914's, a 930, a 911 racecar, a 911 National concourse winner and a 968. Even if i don't buy anything, it's worth the trip.

I don't live far from Hershey at all, and was really looking forward to going. But, it would appear that my dance card is full that day. Camping trip that I thought was set for the first weekend in April is actually the Hershey date. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ar15.gif)

I'll post the hotel info as soon as I get it. I hope to call around today.

I hope to drive my 914 but that will be a call made closer to the date. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif)

I'll definitely be there, but it'll be a day trip for me as well. If we can arrange it, going out after the show would be a lot of fun.

We're staying the the HiLo Express. I'm going to have two spaces at the swap. I don't know if I get any business from setting up, but it's a hell of a lot of fun regardless.

Kerry,

I got my room at the Econo Lodge in Grantville.

Price is always about 60-65$.


However,when all the TAXES (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) are added, it's about 80$ (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif)

Sounds like a plan. There's a sports bar next to the Hershey Grill (don't quote me on that one). The foods pretty good there. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer.gif)

I'm thinking of getting a venders spot or two again this year. I don't know what hotel we'll stay in though.

I'm there every year with my brother. I usually bump into a lot of Rennlist people there as well.

I bought my car last year at Hershey. I'm sure you guys saw it there.
