Definately plannning on going, driving from Valley Forge. It will be our first EV8 meet, plus despite the fact that we live fairly close by, we've never been to Gettysburg.

And, perhaps, I'll have the '42 panel van done by then. I would definitely join in.

Is there a campground close by the meet? I look forward going to the meet. Its about a 5 hour drive for me.

I think there is at least one just south of Gettysburg. I will be in Gettysburg next Thurs. with the other planning guys and I will try to check further for you.

Cecil, the drummer boy camp ground is literally the next property south of the hotel. Trip adviser has mixed reviews on it so they need to decide if it is right for them. Other campgrounds are on the west side of Gettysburg.

yeah my wife does it to me all the time, took her to the hershey hotel for our anniversary, couple of nice dinners then she hit the outlets. Blows out the vacation budget every time.

Hello everyone, We held a club meeting last night, and one if the items I saw is this nice necklace that was custom made. I think the idea is it will be a prize, either in the auction, or as a raffle item, I'm not clear. It's made of silver and has a blue gemstone. Anyone got more info on this? (EDIT to add description from flyer.) It will be a raffle item. "Handcrafted by Personal Touch Jewelers, this exquisite silver & sapphire V8 pendant, hangs casually from a silver chain."

I also saw a gear shift knob that has the entrance to the Ford building at the '39 NY World's Fair on it. Didn't get a photo of the knob that was any good, so I found this one from the Library of Congress.

Hi Jim,
Hancock, New York???

Thanks for posting.

I was just reading some of the info on the official website... http://www.2014enm.com and saw this tidbit!

"The venue is a 100 acre campus with adequate space for trailer parking, the concourse, swap meet, etc. All meet events will be at the hotel location." (Except the tours, of course.)

"As additional incentive to stay at the host hotel, the presidential suite, as well as four deluxe suites, will be raffled off among those who make reservations prior to the registration deadline." EDIT: These rooms have been awarded as of 2/2/2014.

From the Wyndham website: "Presidential Suite: With over 1,200 sq. ft. of stately, regal accents, the Presidential Suite features a living, dining and bedroom area with a spacious bathroom."

That sounds like a pretty cool side benefit to staying at the host hotel.

The 8ba engine that will be raffled off at the 2014 ENM in Gettysburg is awesome! At our last regional group 36 meeting the guys who put this engine and hauling trailer together gave us a demonstration on how everything fits and gets stored inside the hauling trailer. They also demonstrated how to start the engine. I don't think the starter made one complete revolution before the engine was running. Actually it was purring like a kitten. I wish I had taken some pictures so I could post them here, however, you can go to the registration package pdf attached above to see what this engine looks like. Tickets are $5.00 each or 3 for $10.00. You can get tickets when you register for the meet or you can get them at some of the shows along the east coast where the engine will be on display. We will be at Spring Carlisle set up at Dennis Carpenter's Tent so stop by, check out this nice running 8ba flathead engine, and buy some raffle tickets.

[Cecil/WV]

Spent the day at Carlyle yesterday peddling raffle tickets on the rebuilt engine. Had a very successful day. Guys are there again today and tomorrow at the Dennis Carpenter tent and Norm Heathcote and myself will be in Leesport, Pa for the Hawk Mt RG show on Sunday selling tickets again. After that, it will be in Auburn, In. for the AACA national meet in early May.

Even though the Club is having the Central Meet in Illinois (my home state) next year, I am still hoping to make it to this meet
