I had been planning on attending this  judging clinic..but either due to good luck or bad luck..It was good luck that I rec'd my First Junior award at a National AACA show, and bad luck that my 14 year old daughter wants me to take her and my car to the Hershey meet the very same time as the judging clinic so that she can visit the Hershey Museum.  I don't guess this is bad luck though, cause I have been trying to get her to attend a car show with me for several years!

Any idea of the quoted rate?


He must have had them block out a bunch of rooms - most of the travel deal sites show no rooms available 7/29th, So direct contact will be a must if your staying there

[Laurie S.]

Just called, and they have very few rooms.  There's a border collie tournament going on at the same time.  I'll have to sneak away for that since I just started agility training with my border collie.

I think he's trying to get that one too.  More info to come...

[Laurie S.]

The dog tournament that weekend will be a big draw and likely is taking up a lot of the rooms around there.

Not gona be their because of Hershey been going their since I been 1 year old... can't mis it... and my 4 chocolate field spots would be vacant.  And I got to find parts for my original 32 roadster...  but you guys gota bring back the mca tech inspection for a year to avoid waiting in line for tech...  thats such a boring drag.. just my opinion

[Laurie S.]

We don't do a technical inspection, and haven't for several years.  It's a classification inspection to ensure the cars are in the right class.  I thought I had read somewhere that you can get a classification for a year.
