Pennsylvania car show dares government to shut it down over coronavirus rules

[Kyle]

Organizers of an outdoor car show in Pennsylvania said late Wednesday that the event would go on despite a lawsuit by the state health department seeking to shut it down for operating in violation of coronavirus restrictions, specifically a rule banning gatherings of more than 250 people.

The sprawling event expects to see about 100,000 attendees over four days.

Show organizers called the state's coronavirus health order "invalid" and said they would "vigorously defend this action" to open their event in court.

There was a pretty big car show in the parking lot by Hobby Lobby last weekend.

Was that Cars-n-Coffee? Another one planned for next weekend at the Beanery

I believe so. I saw videos and FB. I did stop at HL later and there were still some cars and people out there.

Ace Hardware in Lusby has them on Saturdays. Lots of cars and people. My husband used to go to the car shows in Carlisle all the time.

Think its been 15 years since I went to Carlisle for a show..Interesting day, after I headed home, a mini-tornado went through there and destroyed a few vettes. There was an amish/mennonite stand there that put out some fantastic food, and reasonably priced.

It's been about that long since my husband went. He stopped going because he'd always go with his Uncle and was afraid his Uncle would have a heart attack from all the walking. Turns out, he was right. Uncle had a massive heart attack and was dead before he hit the floor.

Yes, we were at Ace a couple weeks ago and there was one going on.

Glad people are getting out.

My Dad is with me right now and he has health issues, so I can't take him to go do things like that right now.

I have a couple "peoples choice" trophy plaques for vehicles I've had on display there over the years. I've been a regular at Carlisle since about 1975....

The title is all wrong. It should be "Pennsylvania Government Dares Car Show to Exercise It's Freedom"

I have always wanted to go to Carlisle for the swap meet to look for parts. Friend told me to bring a wagon with me to save my back from carrying everything.

Dammit I was in Carlisle today but not for the car show - first I’ve heard of this, but I’m not into cars. Could be the reason for all the traffic there today.

I'm not "into" cars either, but Carlisle is like Mecca to anyone who is. I'd like to attend just to rationalize the money I spend on my boats. I dropped around $120 this morning for used outboard parts and I'm not even dressed yet.
