One of our family's many fond food memories of trips to Hershey goes back to the days of the flea market in the grass pasture opposite the airfield. At the rear of the field, the local neighbors' wooden frame garages opened up their doors to the flea market. Enterprising folks sold out of the garages ... including the Kiwanis Club that provided their version of the then new Egg McMuffin and coffee.

They called it the "Egg McKiwanis." Our then grade school aged boys still remember the chilly 6 AM breakfasts and the warm-hearted Kiwanians that served them.

After spending all day in antique auto wonderland, we would head for the Amish country for dinner ... do they even have apple pie in brew pubs?

Last Hershey that my son and I attended had vendors packing up on Friday afternoon because it "looked like rain."

Hershey today sure doesn't have the ambiance of the early days ... like comparing Disney World to the Threshermans Meet in Albert City, Iowa.
