For some reason this show does not seem to be posted.
A great show held on the grounds of Mount Hope Estate.
http://www.parenfaire.com/volksfest/
Always a great show with a fantastic swap meet.
See you all there.

How does the swap compare to, say, Litchfield or Flanders?

IMHO, this is the best swapmeet of the three mentioned.
Stuff shows up here, as the first major East Coast meet, that has been collected over the winter.

| My family and I are going to be driving my bug to this show. Is anyone heading up 81 that wants to meet up and cruise up as a group? We will be getting on 81 around Martinsburg WV. |

I'm going! Great swap! Last year I got 5 NOS bus clutch cables for $25! And a rebuilt 34-3 for $10. I think the swap is much better than litchfield, these PA guys have all the good parts.

Some folks from Long Island will be coming up for Friday. We're staying at the Americas Best Value Inn, in Palmyra (near the old Campbelltown show) going to check out the Hershy Auto Museum Friday night, and do dinner together. We welcome anyone else who wants to join.

PLanning on going - trying to decide which car to bring. Need to get the woodie out for a nice drive before I take it just to make sure all is good. If not, we may take her 61.
I really shouldnt take the day off from working on my new shop, but after several weeks straight, I think I deserve a day off....LOL.

.We got there a little late - like around 10:30. Swap meet was real good.
OMG - the quality of the cars was astounding....... 
Honestly, I dont know how the judges were able to pick winners - The cars were that good. As usual, a real nice mix - buggies, busses, things, Ghias, customs, stock, lots of cool water cooled, you name it, it was there.
If you missed it, be there next year.

I really enjoy this show, and it fits well at the current location. The swap is always good. I do, however wish they would go back to the food they were serving a few years ago. The hot dogs and burgers can't compare to the pulled pork and smoked turkey legs they used to offer.

Seriously.
That swap meet was fantastic.
Reminded me of what it used to be like at Maple Grove back in the 90s.
Can't wait for next year !

The food thing - looks like they were doing construction in the restaurant area, so I am guessing that is why we had the limited selection. Sure beats the hell out of Campbelltown and getting in line for breakfast and it its lunch time till you get your food 
Hats off to HAVOC for yet another excellent show!

Usually the last Saturday of April...
I'm guessing the 30th?
DVG usually rents a wing at the Campbelltown Americas Best Value Inn, we're always happy to have more join us!
