Looking forward to this show, 1st Big show of the year on my calendar, long 8 hour ride, but since I didn't get to any shows last year, this looks like a good way to start the Show season. I hope I 'm not stepping on anyone's toes by posting....... _________________ Tom

Oh man, I really like this show. I hope to make it but we’ll see.
I do have some feedback that I’ve sent to HAVOC in the past, but I never heard back from them. Maybe posting it here might help.
I've been attending HAVOC's Volksfest at the mount hope estate for a few years now and its one of my favorite shows. HAVOC does a great job. I'd like to offer one piece of feedback to the organizers about this show.
Please rent more porta-johns for the show field. In 2019, I used them at 10am and they were about to over flow. I felt bad for the mother and small child who were using the porta-john after me. Please consider renting more toilets.
I recognize there are bathroom facilities at the Estate, however they are at the opposite end of the estate and sometimes mothers with children cannot make it across the property to the bathrooms. _________________ 77 Westy - Cape Cod Sage

I got a reservation for Friday night @ Pinch Pond campground, they are sold out of Tent sites But had a RV site that they held for me since I have been there before. If anyone needs a spot for Saturday night, my spot would be available. See you all there. _________________ Tom

Is there any onsite camping at this show? Or perhaps somewhere close with sites remaining? _________________ "If you don't do it this year, you'll be one year older when you do." -Warren Miller |

We always just camped in the swap/show field. Its primitive, but, always has been a good time. |

So there is a rumor out there that some old guy from CT may be there tomorrow morning...... 🤓
So all that have been is there room for a shopper to park a single car enclosed trailer and van there. We have tried to email to ask. I will say this was a very late plan ( like a few hours ago) |

Great swap meet, and it even has a car show next to it!
I haven't seen that many caddy's at a show before, both in the swaps and the show.
Overall best in show for me was the Audi Fox in the swaps. Not only was it clean, it was running and driving! _________________ Founder and Chairman Emeritus, ECMSAS
