Hibernia County Park, Coatesville, PA. Always held in the Fiddler's Field with group camping on the same grounds.

Directions:

From Morgantown area and west:

Turnpike option: Morgantown exit of the turnpike (298) to Rt 10 south. Follow Rt. 10 to Rt 322 in Honey Brook.
Take Rt 322 east approx 6 miles to Rt 82. Turn right onto Rt 82 south and follow for approx. 3 miles. Turn right

2 miles to the second park entrance (follow signs). Turn left into park and follow directions to show field.

All other follow Rt 322 directions from Honey Brook.

the Morgantown exit above.

All others:

Rt 202 south option: Rt 202 south to Rt 30 west - Exton/Downingtown. Follow Rt. 30 west via Rt 30 Bypass
approximately 13 miles to Rt 82 north. Turn left onto Rt 82 and follow north for approx 3 miles (note: very twisty

Rt 202 north option: Rt 202 north to Rt30 west - Exton/Downingtown. Follow directions as above.

Rt 100 south: Rt 100 south to Rt 113 south. Follow Rt 113 approx 4 miles to Rt 30 bypass west. Follow directions

From points South, Rts 1 and I95

Major junction roads are Rt30 and Rt82. From Rt1 north out of Maryland follow Rt10 west out of Oxford, PA
approx 16 miles through Sadsbury to Rt 30 business. Landmark is a large Wawa on the corner. Make a right onto
Rt30, staying in right hand lane. Follow Rt 30 east to Rt 82, approx 8 miles. Turn left onto Rt 82 and follow

GPS coordinates for entrance are: Lat 40° 2'17.05"N Lon 75°50'40.12"W

For GPS directions, please enter "Hibernia County Park, Park Road, Coatesville PA 19320". Double check on your driving directions that you are following at least one of the roads listed above as there are multiple Park Roads in the area. You will likely be directed to the first Park entrance, which is fine, simply follow the signs to the show field.

For those camping, the gates close promptly at sunset. You will need to be there before then or obtain the key code for the lock to let yourself in (which I'll have in a week or so). Other campers with key codes can also let you in if you have their phone numbers, or PM me for my phone if needed... before, the show, of course!

Admittedly this year is unorganized due to multiple things going on with the OCOD membership. Still should be a great time, and the weather is just starting to turn cooler - after this week!

[Letterman7]

One week bump.. long range forecast looks like perfect camping and show weather! Come on out!

[Letterman7]

Ok, so the weather doesn't look all that promising... I need a basic count of who might show up Saturday. With the weather on the line, the show might be cancelled if only a few people are going to show. It's not worth risking tearing up the grass and/or getting stuck in the field. Final decision will be made tomorrow (Friday) AM.

Hi Rick,

Will be out if the weather is good, seems like a few people from SJVWC are coming... if there is continuing rain, will there be a re-schedule?

No reschedule unfortunately. This is a one and done event. Camping, however, is still on for the brave. Since the campsite area is pre-reserved for the weekend, those that want to camp still can. Be aware that the grounds will be quite saturated. If you're camping, you may actually want to be in the parking lot of the stage rather than in the actual camp ground. You will not be able to start a campfire there, however.

[Letterman7]

Ok.. here's the update: Upon talking with the park and the conditions of the field, yes, unfortunately, the show will be cancelled this year. There hasn't been discussion of a reschedule simply because there hasn't been much interest shown. For the campers: the group campsite is also closed, but the individual campsites along the lake and upper circuit are open. You will need to register at the park office for your site. Forms are available at the door if the office is closed. You must be there before the park closes at sunset. Sorry folks!
