I have never been too a convention what exactly is it ?? A car show ?? Swap meet ?? Give some details please
 
It's several days (things usually start on the Tuesday and the show is the Saturday) of cruises, car events, social time, meetings, hanging out and meeting new AMC/Rambler friends, Friday is usually a swapmeet, Saturday is more swapmeet plus the big show. This year in Rockford, IL there was even AMC drag racing on the Sunday! These events (like any other) are all about what you put into them. If you go there to have a good time, participate and help out where you can you will come away with great memories and the need to go back for more! I have met so many GREAT AMC folks by attending these shows.
 
I live in Vancouver BC and have traveled to Charleston SC in 2014, Cleaveland OH in 2015 and Rockford IL in 2016. In 2017 I will be pulling an even longer trip to Gettysburg...I love this trip!!!!Smile

Only two hours away and you have to think about it? It'll definitely be worth the trip. If your family doesn't support your car hobby, leave them home. Make a special trip to Gettysburg just for them another time (just my opinion).

I recommend booking your room at the host hotel asap. The host hotel is where you want to be to enjoy the days/evenings in the parking lot etc.
 
As Joe said, only 2 hours is an easy decision, its about a 6000 mile roundtrip for me!
