NCRS National Convention
Hershey, PA|
July 13-17, 2003

Sunday, July 13

Leaving my parents' home in Philadelphia for the 92 mile trip to Hershey. I took the opportunity to spend some time with them,
so I made the daily commute. They are 94 and 86, and still live in the same house they bought in 1942, when I was 3 months old!

On the way: Typical Pennsylvania farm country.
   

Arrival at Hershey Lodge.

The Caravan arrives from Cumberland, MD overnight stop.
     

I couldn't resist taking this photo: this guy is a SERIOUS NCRS fan!

Monday, July 14

Arrival at the Convention Center found lots of car covers.

The Flight Judging room through the doors behind my table is beginning to fill up.

The Franklin Mint table next to me was busy the entire week. They have offered to donate one of their fabulous
Corvette die-cast models for us to raffle at Carlisle. Thank you, Dave Castellano!

The Corvettes Conquer Cancer C5 shared the front apron of the Convention Center with Chip & Judy Miller's "Numbers Matching" pair,
a 1953 and a 2003 Anniversary Edition, both with the same VIN: #181! 

Judging areas.

The 1953 Motorama Corvette: EX-122 was on display, now owned by Kerbeck of Atlantic City.

Outside, the transporter for EX-122.

Seen at one of the vendors down the hall from me:
this incredibly detailed diorama of a very busy Corvette Garage.

on the way to Hershey one morning.

Time to head for home.

Farewell to the Hershey Lodge.

The nearby Hershey Park.

Back home in Maine.
 

The week in Hershey was good for us.

We were able to send the American Cancer Society office that serves the Harrisburg/Hershey area a total of
$521.00.

THANK YOU to NCRS for this opportunity!
