I've been to Hershey probably 9 years out of every 10 since 1959 and this was the worst I can remember, due entirely to the weather. The Harrisburg area (20? miles West) recorded 4.5 inches of rain Thursday and Thursday night, and Friday it pretty much rained, not on and off but constantly, all day for what must have been another 2 inches. Only big-time vendors with professional tents were open, hundreds of vacant flea market spaces and others just hunkered down in their vehicles or not present at all. We were going to stay for the car show on Saturday (which is on grass) but decided it wouldn't be worth the effort and decided to drive back home. And to top it off, our parking area had turned to mud and we needed a push to get out.

Oh well, now we can look forward to next year,
