953 nut 55,328 #3 Posted March 6, 2021 My reservations have been in since December. When the FDA approved the first vaccine I figured we were on our way to being one big happy family again. 1 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JoeM 7,874 #5 Posted March 6, 2021 (edited) With the PA governor lifting restrictions might be plausible? Just wonder though, if the state has restrictions on the numbers and distancing will the club will have to submit a plan? Much like the ballparks and arenas. Might have to get an entry ticket? IDK Hope it is not to complicated. Has anyone talked to the Collectors Club to see how they may respond? As slow as and unpredictable Pa. is who knows how much these things will change? Current State Restrictions SOCIAL RESTRICTIONS Gathering limits in place: Indoor events: 15% of maximum occupancy, regardless of venue size and only if attendees and workers are able to comply with the 6-foot physical distancing requirement Outdoor events: 20% of maximum occupancy, regardless of venue size and only if attendees and workers are able to comply with the 6-foot physical distancing requirement Face coverings are required to be worn indoors and outdoors if you are away from your home I'm about 3 1/2 out so figure I can drive over for the day and then back if there are no rooms, but I had found that to be not much of an issue in the past.

I think with Covid still affecting people’s traveling plans it’ll be easy to score a hotel...even close to the dates of the show I bet there are plenty of vacancies. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wallfish 17,015 #10 Posted March 6, 2021 My father offered to book the rooms a few days ago. Pretty sure he's on top of it so hopefully no cancellation is necessary. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rmaynard 15,519 #12 Posted March 8, 2021 I saw that post on FB too, but it's very vague. Who is the "fair board"? "Keep your eye out for updates" I think the first thing they need to do is update their website. It has not been updated since the show was canceled last year. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MikesRJ ran the site. And you are right, it has not been worth a hoot. There are a lot of folks who don't use Facebook for obvious reasons, but do check on websites for up to date info, if it's there. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The ice cream social is Friday night, right after the board meeting, followed by the cruisin' to the oldies shortly there after. 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike'sHorseBarn 2,999 #24 Posted March 8, 2021 @953 nut Yea that wasn't me that ran the site, but Ironically enough I do administrate 2 websites and would be happy to help them with keeping theirs up to date if they ever wanted someone else to take it over. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
