Attendance for 50 yrs. of Spridgets

The show in Carlisle, Pa. is the same as the get-together in Lake of the Ozarks??????? Now I am confused!!!

What kind of camping facilities are available in the area?
 
No no, not the same. Lake is 50th Carlisle is Jublie.

Spridgets yes, different place yes. No connection otherwise.
 
That's what I thought!!! Last few posts made it a bit confusing!!!
 
Here's some info fro SPRITESPOT.COM:

SPRITE JUBILEE 2008

Plans are well underway for what is likely to be the
biggest-ever gathering of Sprites, at least since they
went out of production in 1970. The event is the
"Sprite Jubilee" to celebrate the 50th anniversary of
the legendary Austin-Healey Sprite cars, and it will
be held in central Pennsylvania, near the city of
Hershey, May 17-20, 2008.

This event follows the tradition started almost 20
years ago now, when in 1988 we celebrated the Sprite's
30th anniversary with "Sprite Fest", followed by
"Sprite Bash" in 1993, "Sprite Rush" in 1998, and
"Sprite Spree" in 2003.

According to the Global Austin-Healey Sprite Registry,
of which I am Registrar, this location is within a
short driving distance for literally hundreds and
hundreds of Spridgets.

Additionally, owners of ALL English cars are invited
to Sprite Jubilee 2008. Special recognition and
awards for all British cars participating will be made
during the meet.

The dates of the event run concurrently with the
Carlisle Import-Kit/Replicar Nationals, which will be
held from Friday May 16th through Sunday May 18th, in
nearby Carlisle, Pennsylvania.
 
My wife checked em out last Feb when we went up there to make arrangements. She says real nice.
 
Lake of the Ozarks will already be an epic journey for a west coaster, Hershey is out of the question. The left coasties are not well served by either of the two meets, but I'm willing to try for Missouri. Most of the spridgets@autox.team.net folk I know will be there, so my choice is made. Room reserved, plans laid, routes under consideration.
