Hershey Swap Meet - Who Knows the Ropes

#1 Post by Greg Bryan »

I'm contemplating going to the Hersey Swap in April as a seller (maybe I'm already too late) but I'm hoping to hear from someone who has 'been there-done that'. My plan is to have one table only. Since I will fly in on Friday with my wares, which fortunately are very compact, I will not have a physical table. Do the organizers supply tables or does the vendor provide their own?
Any advice on all things Hershey from experienced Hershey Swap attenders will be appreciated.
Cheers
Greg Bryan

Greg,

It will be great to see you there! It is not too late at all to register.

You have to supply a table, they do not rent them, but I will be driving in with a good sized vehicle so would you like me to bring an extra folding table for you?

The ins: Go there Friday evening because there is some "hanging out" done at the Hershey parking lot.

The outs: rain.

Let me know!

Greg, let me know if you need a table, we have them, lots of them. or if you only need one table you are welcome to set up in our double space, you just have to deal with my Mom and Big John.

Hershey is like no other swap meet, it's massive, and crazy, but the best!

Well, Jeez. Everyone knows I can't compete with Adam's mom.

Greg, can we at least have joint custody of you during the swap meet?

We'll work out a visitation schedule ...
Is the swap on Saturday and Sunday or Saturday only. If it's Saturday only, are there events on Sunday? I'm trying to figure out when to leave for home - Sunday morning or evening.

They sometimes do an Autocross on Sunday, but the swap is Saturday only.

Sebastian, you are welcome to come by and say hi to my mom, but I bet the guy Vic will already be there chatting it up.

She always had a couple of chatters, even my friend Dick Hyland was caught chatting, but he has been seen with ladies on tracks before.
