    I'm going to register my 70 for the car corral tonight. I can only make it Saturday, is that when the show and corral/flea market take place? The back of the newsletter is confusing.

    Setup in the flea market starts on Tuesday at noon until 5pm, and it's open Wednesday-Friday 8-5 and Saturday 8-3. I'll be there with a couple of van loads of parts.

    Is the NE Group at the Best Western Lehigh Valley?

    That is where the "Kent, WA A-body Group", aka me, is staying, lol!

    I will be there Wednesday afternoon sometime I think. Atena is flying in LATE Friday night and we are staying at the Best Western. I still have a room booked at the host hotel. I guess I need to cancel that :laugh:

    I'll be there. It's at the Bulgari complex, not the America on Wheels museum. Be sure to go the the right place Lou!

    I'm less than an hour away, so I'll just be commuting.
    Expect to have my blue '66 there on Saturday.

    I'm not real clear on the events the other days. Sounds like we can just hang out at the show field Wednesday-Friday, 7am-5pm, 3pm on Saturday.

    If there are any music fans coming, Steelstacks, a fantastic music complex is nearby (5 miles from Best Western) with free concerts Thurs-Sat. Davy Knowles is playing a free show Friday night, a Grateful Dead tribute band on Sat (indoor pay stage), and YES in playing Sunday night at the Sands Casino (pay). Several other free shows as well.
    The movie 'Two Lane Blacktop' is playing Sunday night.
    The free stage is outdoors in front of the old Bethlehem Steel blast furnaces, quite a sight to see. Here's a pic of the RUSH tribute band, Lotus Land, I saw a few weeks ago:

    Yes Walt. The Information is very confusing. If anyone has the correct map and schedule could you please post it for others.

    I'll be there. Allentown is only 30-40 minutes from where I live. Friday afternoon I'll be helping out with registration and Saturday morning I'll help with the parking. So everyone is to give me their keys when they arrive haha.

    The showfield is at the Bulgari complex, 808 N. Fenwick Street, Allentown, PA 18109
    Google maps still shows it as the former drive-in movie theater. Property is bordered by Fenwick, Ellsworth, and Union Blvd.

    The America on Wheels Museum is close by, 5 N Front St, Allentown, PA 18102. I think there's a trip there during the week.

    Saturday night's banquet is at the Allentown fairgrounds, 302 N 17th St, Allentown, PA 18104

    The flyer that they put out has no address, no contact phone numbers, no ..... practically anything,
    And after finding out who "they are" -- it is pat deadline, and they can't do this, can't do that , can't, can't, can't.....
    Sounds like it is going to be an absolute disaster.........................

    Just registered the '70 into the car corral. This will be my first all Buick event of any type. Looking forward to putting some faces to v8 handles!
