Hi Adam,

By now, everyone has met the new, clean shaven Adam but wear your name tag just in case.

We'll be there but probably won't do a vendor space this year.

I attended one of these events a few years ago at Hershey park and it rained like hell. Has there ever been any indoor "run-and-hide" area if the skies open up?

Also, what time do people generally get there?

No, I wish I had some 15 X 9 FUCHS, those are getting Unobtanium!

But I did pick up a set of deep sixes today, so I will probably be bringing those with a truckload of 356 stuff.

Of course, since I got stupid with the gift bags a third of the truck space is just for them.

See ya there!

Hershey Gift Bags

#12 Post by Adam Wright »

Many of you have been asking me what is in the gift bags. I will give a sampling below:
Registry DVD packs provided by Al Zim
Registry stickers provided by Diane with the Goodie store
Samba stickers from Everett
Cool 356 post cards from Jim at EASY
Rennsport DVDs, from Unobtanium-inc

Plus other great items that Unobtanium-inc spent way too much money on like car dusters, car detailing stuff, and even a few really really cool items that a few lucky people will get.

Also, the gift bags are FREE, all you have to do is stop by and introduce yourself. I am bringing about 100 bags, but come early, because I expect them to go fast.

See ya there!

Hershey Weather

#13 Post by Adam Wright »

Hey everyone-
I just checked the weather for Hershey and it is supposed to be sunny and 71 degrees. So it looks like our biggest problems that day are going to finding the best deals and tan lines.

Unobtanium-inc is in booth C39-40, and everyone who stops by gets a free gift bag.

If you believe that the weather guys know what is going to happen two weeks from now, then I have some swamp land in Fl to sell you.

They can't even get right the weather today!

But I hope this time, they are right!
