I have never been to this event before and thinking about attending for the first time this year. What should I expect? What do I need to know? Any and all opinions welcome.

A lot of walking

If your needing parts get there early on Thursday to get the best selection. I usually get there around noon. If you see something rare you want, don't walk away to think about it. It won't be there when you come back.  Bring a good pair of shoes and keep a cooler full of ice and drinks to stay hydrated as it's always hot!

This is when we have our club meet.  We have a club tent where we all hang out!  Last year Viperboy brought 2 mini kegs of beer and provided lunch on Saturday!  Great time to meet some of the awesome members here on the site!

Also a lot of us stay in the same hotel group and have nightly parking lot parties with pizza on Friday and then a dinner on Saturday night somewhere local in PA.

Sounds like a lot of fun!

I think 2000 is the limit Brad. Anyway, more walking than anyone needs for a weekend, especially if you are looking to find parts in the vendors area.

First of all.. Its pretty freaking cool. Mopar heaven, its huge you cannot see everything in one day, not if you really want to take it in. I make a point every year to at least go up one day. I usually love to take off work on Friday and go up. Friday and Saturday are the best days. If you are getting a hotel get it early. I live close enough I just drive up each day.

I think Ed told me that he had over 2600 cars last year.
