How about an organized trip for those people that do not want to rally or have an SVX long drive. There is the Mid-Atlantic Aircraft Museum at the Reading, PA airport (old aiplanes-close by). There is Auburn Heights in Yorklyn, PA (about an 1 1/2 away. They have Stanley Steamers and Steam trains that adults and kids can ride.

To get the US economy back on line, there is the QVC studio in Westchester, PA (about 1 hr away). Rosie can lead this rally.
I'll organize a non rally drive as I can do that from home without much incident. I think the Mid-Atlantic Aircraft Museum closed as there was just a big auction up there one of my scooter friends was telling me about (he's a pilot as well who was looking at one of the planes in the collection I think). I'll start another thread asking for suggestions and add some other local things in there. One of the reasons I suggested the Antique Automobile Museum was for Rosie as the Hershey Outlets are 3 or 4 miles away!

I think you're all forgetting the meaning of reading.

A concourse is a place where pathways or roads meet, such as in a hotel, a convention center, a railway station, an airport terminal, a hall, or other space, where people can gather. So I guess the Holiday Inn is our concourse, by definition.

But I think you mean Concours (as in Concours d'elegance):

A show or contest of vehicles and accessories in which the entries are judged chiefly on excellence of appearance and quality.

I could volunteer my critical eyes as a judge... but then I couldn't enter the competition.

I could neither enter nor judge. Either way, it saves a lot of work for me on Concours day. Of course this event is "weather-dependent"

Question Re: Reading X activities

Iron horses & Easter bunnies?!?!

I must have been exceptionally blitzed, 'cause I don't have a clue about that which you two are alluding.

I only remember Di's collection of merit badges.

Ron.
