Slightly Off Topic, but you need to do this if you are going to spend time on the Battle Field Tours.............to really come to see the Battle Field at Gettysburg what will seal the deal for you would be if before you come get the Historically correct DVD/Movie "GETTYSBURG", Stars Tom Berenger, Jeff Daniels and Martin Seen filmed on at the actual battle locations in 1993 by Turner Pictures/Warner Video with hundreds of rein-actors and stars. It will take you there visually and you will appreciate more the visit when you stand on the ground where so many have died.

Hey, that's the American way. Oh wait, you're Canadian! Actually English, come to think of it! But you drive an American Motors car and you have all our bad habits. Time to make you a U.S. citizen! If you start drinking Budweiser I'd say it's definitely something you should look into.

I visited Gettysburg several years ago, just after I had finished reading the book "Gods and Generals" about the Civil War, so at the time I was infatuated with the history there. This was much to the dismay of our Pennsylvania friends, who had been kind enough to take us on a tour of the area, as I had to stop and read EVERY historical marker, lol. I understand "Gods and Generals" was a prequel of sorts to the "Gettysburg" film. In fact Jeff Bridges is in both movies. I'd like to check Netflix and see if they have them both... just hope I don't get so wrapped up in the historical sites that I miss the car show, lol.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'd like to see the battle field, but will otherwise be clueless at what I'd be looking at. Will see the DVD movie before going. Scott

If you get the "Gettysburg" Video to watch before you come, I'll bet you will watch it after you get home and many times years to come.
Wait until you stand on the rocks of Devils Den where the South prepares to attack Little Round Top and where the Union must hold the South off. Little and Big Round Top were the very end of the Battle Front Line. If taken the South could flank and attack the Union Troops from behind at Cemetery Ridge and possibly win the Battle.
The location of our Host Hotel and our Show Field, is just a couple miles South of this area and the road to town from there goes through the middle of the field where Pick's Charge attacks Cemetery Hill and is defeated, ending this Battle. The road is spooky, in that this is the area where so many died, you'll feel it. |

I have a lot of items I had thought of vending at the show. Being from PA I remember that the state likes to send under cover people to events like this and cause problems. I am not going to vend not just for this reason but I also would rather just see the cars. Anyway, the notice below is from the state sales tax website. Read and enjoy....
All vendors selling new or used merchandise within the State of Pennsylvania are required by law to have a Pennsylvania State Sales Tax License (see PA Department of Revenue law on next page). Even if a vendor sells only once or twice a year, it is still necessary to have a license because, according to the law, the sales are in competition with other vendors also selling. There is no fee involved in obtaining a license. |

That Pa tax thing is nothing to worry about.They are not after you.They want to catch the people who fence stolen items and tools.Also a few other things they check for.
