Next Event:

Macungie!

Macungie PA ~~ June 12 - 14

       This is the Antique Truck Club of America's annual show. The event itself is June 13-14 but we get there early and set up camp! For more information about the show itself and the registration information, check out the show poster.

       It was a great show in 2007 and we had a great time. Check out the pictures on the ATHS Photobucket!

       And for the BW-ATHS convoy up, here's the inside scoop from John Vanatta:

       The summer convoy program continues or, as some of us call it, happiness is a string of old trucks in the mirror.

       We will operate the Macungie convoy much the same as in the past. The pointy end will form in the parking lot of the Leonardtown MacDonalds at 7:30 AM Thursday June 12th. We will then proceed to the Mechanicsville Fire House lot by 8AM. After some scuffing of shoes and a discussion of the weather, we will proceed to the eastern end of the Benedict Bridge at around 8:35 where we will do a running rendezvous with our illustrious President.

        At that point, it will be non-stop (I hope) to Transit Truck stop in Millersville to be there a little before 10. After a traumatic encounter with the gas pump and a greasy bacon and egg sandwich, we will form up with what will by now be a significant line of priceless equipment, and proceed north. The next stop (I hope) will be at the I-83 rest area (if we can all fit in there) near the PA border at (who knows what time by now) around 11:15 where we will join up with the remaining members of the B-W hardheads.

        After some more scuffing of shoes, we will then make a run for our lunch stop at the Rt. 222 Truck Stop in Ephrata PA, for another traumatic experience with the gas pump. We usually hit the lunch stop around 1 and make it into Macungie by 2:30 or 3, hopefully still on Jun 12th.

       This year we have a large number of convoy participants planning to attend. Don’t forget flea market donations and lawn chairs. I have the club tent and banner. Herman is bringing tables. Henry will bring the fabulous collection of flea market items we have assembled over the years and the flea market tent. See everyone there!


 

       So be there or be square. And while you're here, be sure to check out the May-June Newsletter. It's now being sent electronically. So, if you haven't gotten your copy, just pull it up from the link in the menu bar at the top of the page.
