This coming weekend on June 1st, there will be the 19th Burn Prevention Foundation Concours d'Elegance of the Eastern US held at the Northhampton Community College in Bethlehem Pennsylvania. I was wondering if anyone is going to be attending. There will be over 150 cars in the show including a supercar class. There will also be a special interest parking lot with an anticipated 300 cars from various clubs coagulating together. Free parking and $10 entrance fee makes this an enjoyable car event with some very special automobiles to look at. All proceeds go to the Burn Prevention Foundation.

I've been invited to judge and photograph the event so I'll be running around quite a bit. This might be a fun event to participate in next year as a Porsche forum club. You get special parking and free entrance into the show.

For the Washington DC folks, this is about a 2hour and 45 minute drive up 83.

Here are the specs from the website: www.concourseast.org
