Carlisle, PA shows

[Tproject]

Being retired now I would like to attend more antique/classic shows, Carlisle PA is one of my primary objectives. Anyone familiar with the shows offered there have a suggestion as to which one would be best for a Healey/British car guy to attend? Considering the fall show at this point.

I go to the Imported show every spring. It is early May I believe. It will be after the spring carlisle regular show. There a lot of MG, TR, and Healey stuff there. It died off for a few years but is making a good comeback. There will be a lot of guys there from PA, NJ, NY, Maryland and Virginia. It is always a rainy weekend and I pity these guys. We have to support it and keep it growing. Hope this helps, Bob

Bob,
It helps. At first site glance it looked like more of a kit car show but it is now on my travel schedule.
Thanks!

Looks like May 20 to 22 in 2011. There some Cobra kits and 356 kits in the one building. It is a good show, not anyway near as big as Fall Carlisle but a really neat show for british stuff. Bob

I might have a table there this year, clearing out some of my stuff. If you come up PM me and we can meet. Stop and see my work in progress and Patti will make you a meal. Take care, Bob

Bob,
Thank you for the offer, I will add that to my schedule it would be great to meet a member of this forum. Sort of my bucket list.

Have you considered the Fall AACA meet (always Columbus Day week-end) - the largest flea market in the USA.
get a program with the vendor descriptions and be prepared to walk.
the flea market is from Wed to Sat and the car show is Saturday - with a nice collection of Healeys.
If you decide to attend let me know and I will send you our space #, we will have various Healey doors, chrome, shrouds, and literature.

Closer to your home - have you attended MGs on the Green in Harrisburg NC? held on Sept 25 - there should be a nice number of healeys there

I hope to see you at either event
Jim

Jim,

Thanks for the suggestions. I have been to Hershey twice, once about 38 years ago and once in 06. Great show.

I have already booked into the Fall Carlisle but I will also consider Harrisburg.

Thanks again.

Tom
