I did an on-line search as to when Hershey 2012 is happening and found out is is around the 21st of April.
I have a work related event that will happen in Reading, Pa, sometime in April (date not nailed down yet), to which I made the suggestion that they plan it for the week of April 16th, which would allow me to take in the P-event at Hershey! We will see...
Jeff stated in another thread that he plans to be at Hershey with his Mint cab and Speed Yellow coupe. Another reason for me to "push" for having the dates "line up"... :D

it's on my calendar, and i plan to attend again. not sure what is going on just yet though. the wife is supposed to be in japan at that time, which theoretically frees me up.

I sent the info out to the PCA 968 register members yesterday but here it is for the forum members.

PCA Hershey swap – April 21st – The swap is being held on Saturday April 21st in the same location as previously used. For those of us that arrive early (Friday), a few of your fellow 968ers including myself will be staying at the Hilton Garden Inn (550 East Main St Hummelstown, PA, 17036, Tel: 717-566-9292) and invite you to stop by for a “968 Friday night Cruise night”. After your dinner come on over to look at 968s and enjoy a drink at their Hilton happy hour bar if you like. We’ll hang out outside and talk 968s. You'll get to see my Speed Yellow coupe with the newly applied "mods"!!! We’ll start at 5:30pm and stay outside until the sun goes down and then we can move inside if you like. Unfortunately, I was not able to get a conference room for any Friday night presentations. Saturday you can join us at the swap. Gates open at 7:30 so get there whenever you want. Admission is $10 and you can park in the general parking area or for an addition $10, enter the concours and park in the concours area (which isn’t that far from the general parking area). Your choice. Then we’ll hang out at the swap, check out the cars and parts, socialize some more, and probably wrap up and say goodbye around 5pm. If you plan to join us let me know when (Friday, Saturday, or both) so we can watch out for you. The link to the event is below:

Jay, there won't be a line up except, maybe those who are staying at the Hilton, otherwise, see you at the swap. And sure, bring the Volvo, type R.

I'll be there this year --- hope to see lots of our 968 crowd there! Will drive up Friday afternoon and stay at the Hilton Garden Inn. Also will bring a few things for tailgating...not as elaborate as previous years. Feel free to bring along something to share and we can set up a nice spot for tailgating.

l've missed everyone!!! I wasn't able to make it to Hershey last year, and my other new toy (31' sailboat) has occupied a lot of my time in the last year. But I'm still alive and well and hope to see a lot of folks at Hershey.

Cheers!
Kathy

I'll be in town for a few days on business and will be staying at the HGI. This will be my first event, with hopefully many more to come.

Anyone selling a 6 speed CAB or know of anyone selling one at this event? I wouldn't mind being forced to drive home instead of flying...
