yarnall Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Thanks vision 386. Can you describe what all I can expect to see and things to do while there?The show is Friday and Saturday. Trucks start arriving Wednesday. There are only a few left on Sunday. It will take all of Friday and Saturday to look at the 600 or so trucks and the huge flea market. Firday night is the Family Picnic which draws several hundred people. There is more food than can be eaten, a band and drawings for prizes. There is not a cost, but they ask for donations. Mack provides a bus which goes to the Macungie Plant for self guided tours. I don't know if they have a bus, but there is the Mack Museum and Customer Care Center near by. There is also the America on Wheels Museum in Allentown which has several Macks on exhibit along with lots of cars. If you are around a while you can go to see some private truck collections. If you are bringing family there is lots of sight seeing in Philly about an hour away or Dorney Park amusement park a few miles away. Hope this helps. I'm sure others can add more. FWD is our resident "Julie the cruise director". Maybe he will add something. Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackb61sx Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Plan on going, putting truck back together now so should be done by spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brocky Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 R686STAt Macungie there will be in excess of 600 trucks in a lovely park setting, as well as a large flea market and craft area and a "for Sale" corral. Spectator admission is free all days, although you will have to pay for your car parking ( Fire Police and Boy Scouts)There is a free ( donations accepted) picnic supper Friday night. This year they are asking you to pre-register so they can get enough food and pre-register's will EAT First. 301-331-6210. There are also free busses Friday and Saturday to both the Mack Museum and the Mack Macungie assembly plant.The Park has the community swimming pool which is open, Mike Yarnell please jump in here and advise outsider accessability and cost?? There are Diners and Pubs on the Main Street 1 block from the park as well as food vendors at the showWithin an hour or so's drive is the PA Dutch Amish region of Lancaster County (Parrish in your terms) where they still farm with mules ETC and probably should not mention it, but in between is the large Outlet Mall in Reading. Let you decide if you want to let your wife know!!!Please feel free to ask more questionsBrockyEdit: Mike we were typing at the same time Quote Brocky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MADDOG93 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 My life is planed around Macungie , Family and some of my friend's make the trip with me and my 3 kid's love the truck show pool as they called it when they were little, now 32,30,20,years old. The show brings us all together for a fun and relaxing weekend. We camp on site for three night's and leave on Sunday late to enjoy the pool and watch the Truck's pull out. Will be bringing the Ward Lafrance this year and hope to park right next to FWD so he can smell and hear the 671 come to life, ok maybe down hill from him so he will not get oil on him . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post fxfymn Posted January 24, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 24, 2014 I have already sent in the registration and made hotel reservations. Bringing the 72 IH 1310 Oren mini-pumper this year.I'll probably start a separate thread for this, but I was wondering how everyone would feel about setting up some type of receptacle for Mack Museum donations at the show from BMT members. We all appreciate what the museum does for us, but nothing says love like money in the pot. Ideas?? Barry a "red kettle" at your tent?? 3 Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
