Nope. Since they've moved load in day to Monday, for last couple of years, the place has been a ghost town by mid-day Thursday.

I agree with Tim, Friday is a Ghost Town. We don't even bother to drive down to the fields on Friday morning, and our hotel is only 4 miles away.
Lots of folks leaving/packing up on Thursday
But that's the best day for bargain hunting.
We typically stay till 4PM on Thursday weather permitting.
2026 will be my 53rd. year of consecutive attendance. See ya there
CORRECTED SPACE NUMBERS C4N 46 47 48
GOOD THING I KNOW WHERE THEY ARE !!!!

Hey Phil,

I'll try to stop by. I'm 55 and this is my 45th year attending. We're over in the Orange Field OGB 24-26.

Let's pray for good weather.

WOW!...65 years! Things we love to hear. Good for you, man!...

Been going since 1968 (with my dad and grandfather). Only missed because college got in the way and my dad refused to take me. That was a terrible week at school. Come see me at CV/CW 65-72. (Former Dennis Carpenter spaces) and EFV8 Club tent. Hopefully, I’ll have something you need.

I still don’t miss the mud. Who remembers the Yellow Field? How about watching the planes land on the landing strip?

 

[V8ER]

Yellow Field/Lake. Airport/White Field. Green Field before the Giant Center.

'60's: arrive Friday night, walk the flea market Saturday morning, look at the cars, go home.

1967: snow. 1976: first serious mud. 1977: flood. Travel by half track or tractor.

Thank you for the information.

last year was my first, scored big time with NOS parts, but was super bummed that the directory was so poor on identifying the Ford sellers

Is there a compilation somewhere here that lists the Ford sellers and space numbers?

 

[nelsb01]

I believe the AACA program has listings for alphabetical names and also parts types. (Ford Parts, GM Parts, Wiper Parts etc.)

If a vendor doesn't list his type of parts when he sends in his description with his funds, then that falls on them.

411Ton - I've been going to Hershey for a long time and found that using my eyes scanning for parts up and down the rows was much more productive than using the program. Glad you were able to find lots of NOS parts and good luck this year too.
