    Fall Carlisle is a sure thing. It looks to be the largest and best collector car event in the east coast for Covid 2020. Be there.

    Hershey, on the other hand- is sketchy. At first they cancelled the swap meet but promised a Saturday car show. There was a chill in the air yesterday and it seems the car show will be:

    cancelled outright?

    Rescheduled for later, but still at Hersheypark (which is open on wet ends into November)?

    Moved to a different location, possibly Gettysburg?

    Stay tuned, but don’t load the car yet.

    It would be best NOT to speculate what is going on at Hershey right now. From AACA HQ, there is SOMETHING in the works. I hope things happen.

    At this point, its unclear. The co-chair of the HERSHEY event posted that because of the Coved- 19, the Saturday car show is now cancelled. The Executive Director of the A.A.C.A. then posted saying that they are trying to work out something. At this point I would assume that the Saturday car show is cancelled, but we all know what to assume means.

  4. I know it's a drive, but Brad54 is doing a three day show at the Atlanta Dragway in Commerce, GA on Oct 8-10. $100 pre-sale for vendors (all the space you want)!
     

  5. OFFFICIAL NOTICE REGARDING THE HERSHEY CAR SHOW AND NEW SPECIAL FALL MEET FROM THE AACA NATIONAL BOARD OF DIRECTORS

    There is an old saying about the “best laid plans…” and we had a great plan for the Hershey car show this year. We worked with all parties and had an agreement on a COVID-19 solution for our show. We ordered trophies and the Hershey Region ordered judges hats and dash plaques. We were excited to work together with the Region to make this a great show. Unfortunately, in the last few days we were given a new set of regulations to follow which would have drastically affected the quality of the event in a negative way. As much as we wanted to have the show at the traditional location and be able to show-off the outside of the new AACA headquarters we must cancel the traditional Eastern Division Fall Meet car show on October 9-10. We owe it to you to get this right and apologize to all who now must make changes to your schedule, cancel rooms, and most importantly miss being in Chocolate Town, USA. We are however committed to providing our members with a safe, enjoyable, and sensible event this fall.
    We have proven that in a short time and with your cooperation we can pull off a show in another location. Our 2020 Grand Nationals in Gettysburg was a huge hit and done safely with the complete cooperation of our members. As such, we are proud to announce we will host a Special Fall Nationals on November 6-7 at the same Wyndham Hotel complex in Gettysburg, PA. Everything is onsite, trailer parking, host hotel along with a Marriott Courtyard next door and judging school. Gettysburg is a great place to find activities in a historic location that offers so much to see. The potential for cancelation is extremely remote. We have a well thought out and proven plan. Yes, masks and temperature taking just as we had planned for Hershey will be a requirement.
    Your previous checks will be shredded so please do not worry about them being cashed. We will be sending a registration for Gettysburg. Please fill it out and send it in right away. The Host Hotel is the Wyndham 717-339-0020 and the Marriott Courtyard next door is 717-334-5600. There is a restaurant on the grounds as well. We even have overflow trailer parking if needed directly across the street. Average weather at that time of the year is typical fall. It will be a great show!
    Judges, you will get a judge’s hat from Hershey as a bonus so please join us. We need you!
    With only three shows this year it may be a great chance for your show car to win a national award as well. So please join us, it WILL be a great event!!

    Ok, now you can start loading the car. The Wyndham complex is a great replacement and has previously hosted at least 2 AACA shows. In addition to 3 hotels and a movie theater; the Appalachian Brewing Company is a nice restaurant and pub. Perhaps some enterprising vendor will sell Hershey’s chocolate and we can all pretend everything is normal. Congratulations to everyone at corporate who made this possible.

    I have been to several AACA shows as well as a regional NCRS show at the Wyndham
    and they have always bent over backwards to accommodate the car show organizers.
    It is a wonderful venue and close to restaurants and hotels. Kudos to AACA, the Hershey
    region and all involved in making this happen.
