I've heard Hershey 2022 is going to be moved up a day.... set up Monday, swap meet Tuesday - Thursday, car show Friday. Anybody know for sure?

That is what National has publicly stated. My family, Hershey attendees for over 40 years, thinks it will be a good move. Saturday has been a dead day other than the show for years. Hopefully the move keeps people on their flea market spaces thru Friday, and gives Hershey Park the weekend back which has become valuable to them from a 'weekend in the park' perspective, thereby giving the show the ability to go on and continue for a long time.

Always go to the Hershey Region AACA for the true information regarding this show. The net is full of false rumors.

As a Hershey vendor for many years, started out in the old Blue field. I think this maybe a good idea for them. When I had a real job I always had to leave early Saturday morning so I could get home in time for work Monday morning. That would mean packing up Friday starting around noon. I would lose half of the last good day because of it. Now where I am everyone is packed up and gone by Friday evening anyway.
Yes this is going to mess up guys who work coming on Saturday, but really. If you are serious about Hershey, you aren’t going to come for one day.
I think it may work to help Hershey. My $1.98. Thanks Dan

We are thinking the same thing Dan. Time will tell, but thinking this is a good move. Of course, we are spoiled. I live just 15 minutes from the fields, so I'm always there unless I have another obligation.

Same as always, copied from their frequently asked questions section. Bottom line says it all. Jim
