Was at a flea market this weekend and heard some people talking about this show. Was wondering if anyone had to been to it before and how it was.  Thanks.

I've never heard of it. It's might be a fun convention if you are into what they have and it looks like it happens at the same time Hershey Park opens for the season. The list of guest "stars" (as the ad refers to them) is quite, um, interesting.
Bronson Pinchot and some girl who was in "I Dismember Mama"?  laugh   It almost looks like a spoof, some type of SNL skit.

Its worth a click on the link just to read through the list of Guest Appearances.  "Interesting" is a kind way to describe it.  Would love to see the list of "stars" that didn't make the cut.  I bet the show would make for an interesting afternoon though.

Wow, Bronson Pinchot is the star of the show... Right behind the Elvis impersonator!!! The "other" Jan Brady, I didn't know there was one!! I'm having a hard time with my favorite one, its either the guy with the minor roll in the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory..... Or the random extra from a Zombie TV show!!!

Wow, I was in the background crowd in the movie Man Without a Face with Mel Gibson.... I need an agent!!!

So I made the 2 1/2 trip out to Hershey to the show. Highlights include free passes just before we walked in ($14 savings), a Vendorama dime gumball machine, a nickel baby grand gumball, and seeing Eddie Munster staring down Balki because he was getting all of the fans.

If you ever saw the Wrestler and you remember the scene where he was selling Polaroids for $8, then you have been to this show. If we were there 20 minutes we were there a long time.

Afterwards we decided to check out Adamstown. That was a whole different experience.
