A BRIEF REVIEW OF 2013
Record Numbers and Sold Out Vending Highlight Allentown Weekend
Allentown Auto Mania is an event with more than two decades worth of history to its name. 2013, however, marked the first time the event was powered by Carlisle Events. For three days, regional enthusiasts came to the Allentown Fairgrounds for Pennsylvania's largest indoor and heated swap meet. With great weather throughout the weekend, there was also a car corral aspect just outside the main doors. In addition, because all spaces inside were sold out, vending spilled over to the lots outside too. Patrons not only were able to shop a few hundred vendors, they were also able to take their pick from great food vendors as part of the neighboring farmer's market. All told, the event saw a record number of people pass through the gate and further solidified Carlisle's place in the collector car hobby.
With the 2013 event in the books, anyone interested in being part of the 2014 weekend should contact Carlisle Events for details. The event is January 17-19.
