Popular Post fxfymn Posted December 11, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted December 11, 2016 I know it is a little early to be talking about Macungie, but I made hotel reservations yesterday and I was quite surprised to find that the hotel had only 2 rooms left for that weekend. I booked at the Hawthorn Suites in Fogelsville near I-78 which has been a popular spot for show goers because of it's rates and large parking lot. If you are planning on going this year you may want to make your reservations sooner rather than later. In past years there have been other events going on in the area such as soccer tournaments which may explain why rooms are already being booked up. As Doug Maney says "It is the greatest truck show on earth." It would be a shame to miss it because you cannot find a room. The 2017 dates are June 16, 17, &18. 4 Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!

fxfymn Posted January 7, 2017 Author Share Posted January 7, 2017 Got the new Double Clutch on Thursday and sent back the show registration yesterday. Six months to go!

MHfred Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Carl. Is Macungie going on Sunday this year? I see you listed the 18th also. I know it has not in the past because I stayed a Saturday night and then saw about 3 trucks at the park making preparations to leave.

fxfymn Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 Technically it always goes to Sunday, but you are correct; it basically is over Saturday afternoon.

bbigrig Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I've heard that the plant will not be open for tours this year. They say it's due to construction but the timing also fits that the new Mack Highway truck being unveiled to sales forces in the 3rd 1/4 of 2017 may be in the building at the time. The museum will be open with the ability to drive over to visit and no busing available from the show grounds. Still worth the trip south.

farmer52 Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Bringing this thread to the top. Dates are June 16-17. I am planning to arrive after lunch on Thursday (15th). Many show up on Thursday and most leave on Saturday afternoon. Friday night is the "family reunion" foodfest. Reserve your wrist bands so you can get in the line early. Hopefully the weather will cooperate and not be "mudcungie". Safe travels. Who is planning to be at the show?

MACKTRUCKS4 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Saturday is the biggest day. Trucks don't start leaving until afternoon. They hit around 610 trucks right before lunch last year.

fxfymn Posted June 8, 2017 Author Share Posted June 8, 2017 Usually high noon on Saturday at the Watt's Mack tent. Look for the leaderless group that looks like we are trying to figure out who fits what handle from the web site. 2 Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!

JTFormula Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 I am here! Sandy and I actually came out Thursday night (arrived at 11:30pm) to get a head start today instead of showing up at noon-2 Friday. It will be good to see all of you guys again, and the trucks.
