It is located on Route 11, one-half mile east of its intersection with Interstate 81 exit 52A / 52B (the Middlesex exit). Twenty rooms are blocked off for use by club members at a discount rate of $89 per room (plus tax).  See the Hudsons at Hershey discussion on the H-E-T Forum for information on how Club members can reserve discount rooms.

    Great way to reach out Jon.  Haven't been to Hershey in many years.  Last time there though I got a radio and a radiator for my '47 SS.  Hope you have great weather!!

    Was there still any flea market last year on Friday?  It seemed with the new schedule that Friday was the new Saturday with many now packing up on Thursday.
