Doug Maney Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 It is less that one month until the 25th Anniversary of Mack Day at Gerhart Equipment in Lititz, PA. The Central Pennsylvania Chapter of ATCA will be assisting with the event. We always welcome a helping hand, so if you could spare a few minutes to volunteer, please let me know.If you are attending Mack Trucktoberfest, arrangements can be made for truck parking for the week in between. There are several secure locations that have been made available. Please inquire for more information.Thanks, Doug 2 Quote Interested in Old Trucks?

mackdaddy Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 I have a couple projects going in Maryland and DC so I am shipping my Harley back and riding up to the show with a good friend. It will be the first time I have been to the show so really looking forward to it. Thought about running the big Aussie Mack out but it is too damn high to ship on any of our lowdecks so I'd have to drive both ways..what hotel is a good one?

farmer52 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 I am staying at the Rodeway Inn in Akron, PA. It is an "old time" motel, park close to your room door. The rooms are "dated" but clean. All I need is a clean room, decent bed, and a shower. Been staying there for several years. Owners are friendly. It is about seven (7) miles from Gerhart's. Some good eating establishments are Oregon Farms Dairy (south of Akron) and Lititz Family Cupboard just north of Lititz. There is a good Italian restaurant (Piero's) within walking distance of the Rodeway Inn. But don't forget the Clam Bake on Friday night at Gerhart's....good food and good people. Leversole and I did not get "dunlap's disease" from lack of good food. Leslie,Are you brining your golf cart so we can tour the grounds looking at wimmin trucks? 1 Quote Ken PRR Country and Charter member of the "Mack Pack" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Maney Posted September 6, 2014 Author Share Posted September 6, 2014 There is a Quality Inn - Lantern Lodge here in Myerstown at the intersection of 501 and 422 that a few of the guys are staying at. It is about 20 miles from the show, there is a bar at the hotel and within walking distance of quite a few restaurants.I'm glad you can make it Mackdaddy. I do understand that you are not able to bring a truck. Quote Interested in Old Trucks? Check out: www.antiquetruckclubofamerica.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Doug Maney Posted September 7, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 7, 2014 The Mack Brothers Clam Bake works the same way as the ATCA Family Reunion at Macungie, it is by donation. We simply ask that you donate what you would have paid for a similar high quality, all you care to eat feast like we strive to offer. The Central Pennsylvania Chapter of the ATCA takes pride in our clambakes and it appears as if everyone likes them.There will be door prizes and along with a cash prize awarded if you are interested in participating in the drawing.Fortunately we have been able to cover costs nearly every year this event has been held. We try to make it a fun evening for everyone so you don't have to go away from the show and your Mack Truck friends for dinner and entertainment.* I appreciate the kind work of appreciation, I enjoy what I do or I wouldn't do it. In order to keep this hobby alive, we all need to contribute in some way.I am fortunate to be able to help with several of the greatest antique truck shows in the world, volunteer at and offer assistance to a spectacular historical truck museum and receive support from my fellow antique truck enthusiasts / friends. Without all of the support I get from my friends and family, I wouldn't be able to be so involved.Thanks for all of your support. Doug 3 Quote Interested in Old Trucks?

Maddog13407 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 last year was my first year there and even tho we didn't bring a truck its a very nice show. there is a brewery in downtown Lititz(surprise vinny right?) that we stopped at for good food and a cocktail and there is a good choc factory a few blocks over. worth stopping in in my opinion. we plan on comin dow for the day again but just driving the Iroc down, not takin the truck. anyone have any suggestions on directions from the north ? im comin down 81 from Ny and last year it seems we took the round about way to get to the show and there was a few detours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
